These coincide with National 4H Week, Oct. 6-12. 4-H members will celebrate this centennial anniversary by using their heads, hearts, hands and health to positively affect their local communities, just as 4-H has done for the past 100 years. Coined the Revolution of Responsibility, this centennial initiative engages youth in service learning projects, identifying and addressing important health, science, and environmental issues in their communities. Events are also planned in counties around California during 4-H Week. The first for Tehama County will be the annual 4-H Open House on Oct. 12 at Cone & Kimball Plaza, downtown Red Bluff, from 8AM – 1PM, giving the community a glance into what the 4-H Youth Development Program can provide them, with all Tehama County 4-H Clubs providing free hands on activities to the families of Tehama County. During 4-H Week, the county will be awaiting the arrival of the 1st Tehama County Baby Born during National 4H Week. Donations have been received from 4-H Families and the community to give to the family who has the 1st baby born at St. Elizabeth's Community Hospital between Oct. 6-12. The University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources delivers the 4H Youth Development Program through UC Cooperative Extension in California's counties. The 4-H Program provides high-quality educational experiences to more than 72,000 young people annually through clubs, camps, school enrichment and afterschool programming. The statewide 4-H program is powered by 17,000 local volunteers, who receive training and support from professional UC staff in best practices for youth development. There are about 1 million 4-H alumni in California, who are industry leaders in agriculture, government, education and technology, as well as engaged and philanthropic members of their communities. Contact the Tehama County 4-H Office for more details at 530-5273101 or email slseverson@ucanr.edu. October 6-12 is National 4-H Week and marks California 4-H centennial. Locally, Tehama County is celebrating by welcoming in the 1st Tehama County baby born during 4-H Week. The 4-H Office is collecting handmade, store bought items or cash donations to fill a basket with joy to give to "our" adopted 4-H family. If anyone would like to donate, please bring items between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to the 4-H Office at 1754 Walnut St. in Red Bluff.
