Hello extended 4-H Family,
Many of you have asked how you can help the families affected by the Valley Fire.
There will be a fundraiser dinner, music and auction set for Oct 25th 4-8 pm at the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds. They would like to have 4-H helpers. Linda Edgington, 4-H staff in Mendocino County, is coordinating the 4-H side. If you can help that day please contact Linda or if you can attend the event all funds will benefit the Valley Fire survivors.

The State 4-H Office will be sending a letter out to all fairs to notify them that the UC ANR 4-H Youth Development Program adopted new 4-H uniform guidelines. The State Office will be asking fairs to modify their existing uniform requirements to include the following garments:
- Official green 4-H hat branded with the UC ANR and the 4-H clover logo mark. To view the new 4-H hat visit: http://4h.ucanr.edu/About/Uniform/California_4-H_Hat/.
- A plain white shirt with a collar. Any length of sleeve, including sleeveless is acceptable.
- Dark blue, black, or white pants (all fabric types are acceptable). Alternative Casual Uniform: Shorts may be worn for casual, non-livestock activities (e.g., still exhibits). Alternative Business Uniform: Dress slacks or skirts may be worn for business events and activities (e.g., interviews or formal presentations)
- OPTIONAL: A traditional 4-H tie or scarf worn with the collared white shirt. The tie and scarf are both worn under the collar. Any member can wear either the scarf or the tie, whichever the member is most comfortable wearing.
Youth may continue to use the current green hat with only the 4-H clover logo mark for the remainder of their 4-H career. Youth who are currently senior level members may continue to use their white hat for the remainder of their 4-H career. Senior members may also convert to the green hat as they choose. For additional information regarding the new guidelines, as outlined by the State 4-H Office, visit: http://4h.ucanr.edu/About/Uniform/.
