Club Program Requirement
At the end of each 4-H Program year, all clubs are required to submit a "Club Book" to the County 4-H Office. This book allows the County 4-H Council and 4-H Staff to review the club's activities throughout the year and provide support and oversight as needed. 
The Club Book includes all of the documentation required by the State 4-H Office and the USDA in order to retain the club's charter.
Club Books consist of three sections: General Documentation, Secretary's Book, and Treasurer's Book.
Secretary's Book - Secretary Book Elements Due by August 10th
Treasurer's Book - Treasurer Book Elements Due by August 10th
Livestock Members APR (Annual Project Report) Due by August 10th
General Documentation - New 4-H Year Club Info Due by October 15th
Officer Awards
In addition to Club Seals, Club Secretaries and Club Treasurers who demonstrate exceptional work in their sections of the Club Book are eligible for awards.
The Club Book evaluation panel will then judge them using the following rubrics:
Club Seal Awards
After the Club Books are submitted to the County 4-H Office, they are reviewed by a panel of 4-H volunteers and staff. This panel makes sure that the club is compliant with charter requirements, and that they are providing a high-quality educational program to its members.
The panel uses a rubric to evaluate the books and awards seals accordingly. A club must receive at least a green seal in order to be considered to be a "Club in Good Standing".
