4-H is quickly approaching its 100th anniversary, which we will be celebrating in 2013. Plans are in place to make 2013 a very exciting year for the 4-H program. As Rob Black, the President of the Canadian 4-H Council, probably knows, there are now 552 days, 13256 hours and 795368 minutes until 2013.
Part of the 100th anniversary festivities is an exciting E-History website. The website will be a customized site rich with history and images. 4-H members will be able to upload pictures, video and content onto the site to help celebrate. The website will include a dedicated YouTube section. The site will also include a commemorative 10 minute video. It will be an alternative to a traditional history book. The site will live on as a record of the 100th Anniversary and a living site to showcase ongoing history in the future.
We are looking for material from all over the country so that everyone’s club and 4-H experiences are recorded in history. We want the website to be dynamic so we are looking for material from ‘Then’, ‘Now’, and ‘Tomorrow. We are looking for pictures, videos, artistic works, stories and anything else that you find.
Your 4-H history can be submitted directly to:
Canadian 4-H Council
