2014 Homecoming – 4-H Officers with State Teen Council
We are excited to announce the 5th Annual 4-H Homecoming! Homecoming is a great opportunity to reintroduce yourself to 4-H and reconnect with people and friends that you made as a 4-Her.
As Homecoming quickly approaches we ask that you reflect on your time in 4-H and recognize the impact that it made in your life; bring those memories with you in June. We ask that you come ready to share those memories with us as we remember an organization that had such an impact on our lives and we know that it had a great impact on your life also.
2014 Homecoming – Good to see you!
An old favorite will be coming back to Homecoming this year, “Who’s in the Crowd?”. Join us to see who the speaker of this favorite event will be and what memories and adventures will turn up during this special time of reminiscing with friends and fellow colleagues.
This year’s Homecoming event will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. at the newly renovated Campbell House, Lexington. Homecoming activities will include a reception, dinner, program, 4-H memorabilia, historic slide shows and lots of photos. The meal will be catered by the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association and the Campbell House. Tickets are $50 per person. Please RSVP by May 22nd. Remember to bring any 4-H memorabilia and photos that you may have.
As we begin to spread the word about Homecoming, we ask that you share this information with your 4-H friends, old and new, and encourage each one to come and participate in the 5th Annual Homecoming event. All 4-H alumni, friends and supporters are invited to attend the event! If you have never been an attendee in the past or are a regular attendee we encourage you to join us for an evening of sharing memories, good food, laughter and supporting an organization that blessed each of us. The memories we share and those in attendance are what make 4-H Homecoming so special. Again, this is your chance to reintroduce and reconnect yourself to 4-H.
