There is a 4-H club for either boys or girls in all communities in Putnam County. With enrollment being somewhat greater in Greencastle there are several clubs here in the town ares. With nearly 40 projects to choose from, local 4-H’ers are able to try their skills at activities varying from conservation projects to photography, from gardening to large animal projects and nearly any division of Home Ecomimics activities. This year for the first time there is a Geology project for both boys and girls that are interested in rock collecting. A new countywide 4-H Horse and

Pony club is organised for those with a special interest in this project. 4-H age for enrollment includes those that are 10 to 18 years of age during 1965.

To enroll in a 4-H club either contact the local adult 4-H leader or 4-H Junior leader in their respective communities.
