Hello All,

Our first planning meeting went well. Here are some initial decisions.

• We will usually meet 2 Thursdays a month. In October, we will have 2 "Explore It" meetings. Starting in November, we will move to one "Explore It" and one "Do It" meeting a month. "Explore It" meeting will be done as a group. We will explore interesting topics that kids may not have been exposed to before, or topics they would like to learn more about. "Do It" meeting will involve members working on projects more in depth as individuals or small groups, with adult support. Our club will determine the "Explore It" topics as a group, where as individuals decide what they would like to work on in their "Do It" meetings. Cloverbuds, ages 7 and under may have additional activities available to them in both types of meetings.

• The next meeting will be a "Welcome to 4-H" informational showcase Thursday, Sept 29th at 6:30 at Good News Church 5511 W. 136th Ave. We will have lots of project examples, small animals, photos, etc. to show folks what 4-H is all about. Please come and get ideas for this coming year. This is a great meeting for guests and people just wanting to check us out. Everyone is welcome.
  
  


• October meetings will be Oct 13th at 6:30. Our topic will be "forestry". We will talk about trees and do an activity or related craft. This location is TBD as we may be out looking at trees, weather depending. Our 2nd meeting will be Oct. 27th We will be working on cermic masks and carving pumpkins or visiting the pumpkin patch as a group. Let me know which you would prefer. Location also TBD.

We are doing some light fundraising. All proceeds go 100% baack out to stuff for the kids. We are selling "World's Finest" candy bars for $1. They come in a box of 50. Let me know if you would like a few bars or a box to sell.

Don't forget about the lego robotics meeting Sept. 20th at the Fairgrounds, if you are interested.
