It's National 4-H Week, and landmarks all over the country are going GREEN in celebration, including the Security Mutual building in downtown Binghamton!

Since 1902, 4-H has been helping young people learn by doing, build confidence, and grow into leaders in their communities. Here in Broome County, our 4-H youth and volunteers do amazing things every day, and this week we celebrate all of them.

If you're downtown this week, swing by and check it out!

Our CCE system is going through a handful of changes right now, and we wanted to let you know so you're prepared when new events are announced soon.

1. Event Registration
Starting October 1st, we're moving to a new registration software called Ideal-Logic. Once it opens, you'll create an account with your name and email. It may also ask for your birthdate when you first sign up, but that information is kept private in the system.

Here's the upside: once you've entered your general information for one event, it will be saved for future events, so registering will take you less time. We'll also be able to create real waitlists and manage them much more easily. Parents and guardians can add their children to their account and choose them from a dropdown menu when signing up for programs.

2. CCE Website
Our website is also transitioning on October 1st and will be down for a couple of days (starting sometime today) while the new information loads. The address will stay the same, ccebroomecounty.com, but the site will look different once it's back up. (see attached photo)

3. Newsletters
Our email system will also be changing sometime in the next few weeks. If you receive email communications from us, you'll be transferred to the new list automatically, so there's nothing you need to do. Newsletters may look a little different when you start receiving them again.

Thank you for your patience as we make these updates.
