<title>Kansas 4-H Tip Sheet</title>
<link>https://www.kansas4-h.org/tipsheet</link>
<description>The Kansas 4-H Tip Sheet is a monthly newsletter that provides valuable information to local Extension offices, as well as Kansas 4-H families.  The deadlines posted may be different than those set by local Extension offices. In addition, local Extension offices may not be able to provide chaperones and/or transportation to statewide Kansas 4-H events, programs, trainings and activities. Always check with your local Extension office before registering. Category: From the 4-H Program Leader</description>
