DIPPER SURVEY – PLEASE COMPLETE
From the Dipper Committee… As the 4-H Dipper Committee prepares for their leadership transition, we wanted to get feedback from our families and volunteers. The committee has created a survey that we would like as many of you as possible to respond to in order to provide planning information to the committee moving forward into the future of this fundraising opportunity at the fair. All responses are confidential, but we are asking for your role, club, and number of years you have been a part of our volunteer team to help put context around the responses. The survey will be open until April 30th and we encourage everyone to respond with their feedback. The survey can be found at https://forms.gle/VeDCuAyj7NbjZbeu5.
