There are four years of suggestions provided. The monthly themes are meant to be cycled through again once the fourth year has been finished.

Set 1: Sept | Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | March | April | May
Set 2: Sept | Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | March | April | May
Set 3: Sept | Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | March | April | May
Set 4: Sept | Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | March | April | May

Installation Ceremony

These meeting inspiration topics are useful for club leaders to organize monthly club activities. Topic inspiration helps club leaders facilitate organized and fun monthly meetings for 4-H members. The officer installation activities provided creative ways to welcome new officers and teach them about their roles as officers in 4-H.
