<p> Welcome! 4-H Record Books are the culmination of the 4-H experience.
With record books, 4-Hers not only have the opportunity to complete epic projects, but they have the chance to tell others what they did and learned. </p>
<p>"Why bother?" you might ask.
That is a worthy question, and so I have come up with the following reasons for completing record books. </p>

<p> My name is Thomas Christensen. I am a nine-year Albany County 4-H alum, and I am passionate about record books.
I have taken the liberty of voicing my own thoughts and opinions about record books here under the guise of helping new 4-H members.
If you are looking for a print resource that is slightly more tactful than I am, try downloading the PDF "Record Book Handout" from the "Resources" tab above. </p>
