Leaders, I know it's summer and you're busy but don't forget...all enrolled 4-H volunteers need to be inputting their volunteer hours at http://ext.wsu.edu/testVolunteer/logon.aspx. This is a requirement to be covered by WA State Dept. of L&I. It also helps us track the number of hours volunteers contribute to the program. Contact Shannon if you need your log in information.
