National 4-H Week
National 4-H Week – October 1-7, 2006 – is fast approaching. Looking for items to promote National 4-H Week in your community? Look no further! 4HMediaResources.org is your place to download kit materials. There is also a National 4-H Week brochure, fact sheets about the 4-H movement (that you can also use year-round), interview talking points and materials for media personalities to help you promote National 4-H Week.
Check out the new National 4-H Week Web banners which come in four different sizes. The banners also are available as moving .gif files. Ask those in your community to upload the banners and link to your Web site to promote National 4-H Week (Tip: Link the Web banners directly to the “Find out more about 4-H…” page of your 4-H Web site.)
The complete kit contains logos, print materials, ads, media relations materials, tip sheets, activity ideas and more. Many of the materials are available in a version that you can easily save and open in Microsoft Word, customize with your community and contact information and print on color printers. All files are in .jpeg (graphics), Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word. A link to help you download the Adobe Reader software is right on the site.
We hope you find these materials helpful and look forward to promoting National 4-H Week across the 4-H community. Once you have used the tools provided, please take a moment to fill out our survey so we can make National 4-H Week 2007 even better!
