4-H Friends and Alumni Association

The Texas 4-H Friends & Alumni Association Announces Alliance Opportunity for ALL Counties! The Texas 4-H Friends & Alumni Association is here to assist all 254 Counties across Texas with raising funds for their local 4-H programs. All your county has to have are 4-H Alumni and Friends of 4-H within your county lines to be a part of this new fund raising endeavor !! Beginning August 15 - May 31, 2013, the Texas 4-H Friends & Alumni Association will be hosting "Roundup Former 4-H'ers and Supporters Across Texas" membership drive.  A significant portion of the funds raised through this campaign will be returned to the local 4-H Club or County 4-H Program by the Friends and Alumni Association. Recruitment materials will be made available on the Texas 4-H Friends & Alumni website or you can email Jana Barrett to have them sent to you direct.   The membership drive materials will include talking points about the efforts of the Association, a membership information flier and F&A Membership recruitment forms. The County and/or local 4-H Club portion of Memberships sold will be as follows: Lifetime Membership ($50 donated to County and/or Club) Annual Membership ($10 donated to County and/or Club) Collegiate Membership ($5 donated to County and/or Club) The individual 4-H member recruiting "F&A Memberships" will be allowed to designate their portion of the funds to their specific local 4-H club (subject to verification of club charter by the State 4-H office and notification to the county), their local County 4-H Program, or split the funds between both their Club and their County 4-H Program. The 4-H membership recruiter will receive credit for both new and current members.  If current members "join" within this time, their membership renewal date will be extended. This is a pilot program the 4-H Friends & Alumni Association is initiating and if successful, plans will be to make it an annual event.  This is just another way the Texas 4-H Friends & Alumni Association is stepping up to find ways to support our 4-H programs across Texas.
