And what if you earn Honor
Club membership? Then what? That's when the fun begins. You'll
be part of a club with members just like you; 4-H members are
doers and what to get involved with their friends in 4-H activities.
As an Honor Club member, you'll receive a certificate of membership
and become eligible for an Honor Club key. The key will have
a fifth "H" in the center which stands for Honor.
In most counties, Honor Club meets as a countywide club on a
monthly or quarterly basis. Honor Club members become involved
in educational, recreational and community service activities.
These activities could include helping with 4-H shows, fairs
and workshops; making window displays; serving as project leaders;
attending weekend camps; special trips or tours; dances and
parties.
Honor Club members might be involved in bike-a-thons, tree planting,
Christmas caroling and hiking trips. A favorite activity of
Honor Clubs is taking exchange trips where 4-H members have
the opportunity to visit 4-H members in other states or have
them come here to visit. You may even choose to participate
in the 4-H/Japanese exchange program called Labo.
All in all, Honor Club can be anything and everything you want
to make it. To find out more about Honor Club opportunities
