Clovers In Action (CIA) is a brand-new 4-H Community Club designed for kids who want to explore all that 4-H has to offer, try new things, build confidence, serve their community, and have a LOT of fun along the way!

Throughout the club year, we’ll explore a little bit of EVERYTHING! 🙌

✨ Kids will learn about:
🗳️ How to run for an election & how to vote
🎤 How to write and give a speech
💰 Financial literacy
🍳 Cooking
🌱 Gardening
✉️ How to write a letter
💌 How to make an invitation
🤝 What it means to be a community servant
…and more!

But we won’t just learn about these skills—we’ll put them into action! 💪

Many of our meetings will help prepare members for 4-H contests that connect directly to what we’re learning, including:
🎤 Speech & Demonstration Contest
🐷 Piggy Bank Contest
✍️ Written Communications Contest
…and MORE!

❤️ Giving back will also be a big part of CIA! Members will have several opportunities throughout the year to participate in community service projects and learn how they can make a difference right here in their community.

And we’re already planning a fun way to wrap up our club year! 🎉 In June, we’ll take a trip to Lincoln’s Birthplace to explore some local history and celebrate everything our members have learned throughout the year.

If your child is curious about 4-H but isn’t sure which direction they want to go, Clovers In Action is the place to start! 🍀
Come learn. Come explore. Come serve. Come compete.
Come put your clovers in action! 🍀💚

Meetings will be 1st Thursday of every month- except September

The best part? Come when you want and leave when you’re ready! There’s no pressure to stay for the whole time—just come ready for your little one to have fun, dream big, and make connections. 💕

Heads up sewists!
In September, our parking lot is being repaved, and then our Stitchers Quilt Guild is holding their amazing Heartland of Kentucky Quilt Show on the 18th and 19th (you should definitely plan to attend), so they'll be setting up for that event on our usual open sew date.

We apologize for messing up the normal routine, but we've booked 3 dates for you to have plenty of time to sew!

September 1, September 9, and September 29 - anyone is welcome to come and work on projects you may have! From 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, you can use our machines, bring your own, or work on projects like embroidery, crochet, or other needlework if you want.
