Inclemate Weather Policy
Winter weather can cause many problems including meeting cancellations. If schools are closed due to the weather, we will cancel county-wide or district-wide 4-H meetings and events. Sometimes bad weather can happen after school. If they are calling for snow or ice that evening, we are probably going to cancel any meeting that night. We will make the call before noon that day if county-wide or district-wide meetings are cancelled. 4-H Families will be notified about cancellations via email through 4honline and a post on Facebook if we need to cancel meetings or activities at the county level. Please check with your Club Leader to see what your Club policy states.
