November 4-H Teen Board
High School-aged 4-Hers, join us on Monday, November 14 at 4:30 p.m. at the Daviess County Extension Office for our first meeting of the year. We will have a program called “Stop the Bleed” presented by Owensboro Health. You will learn how to properly use tourniquets in an emergency situation – a skill that can save a life! We were able to provide this program in 2019. The participants thought it was fun and educational. Please RSVP by noon on Friday, November 11.
