Field Trip!

Hi everyone,

If stir crazy kids are driving you nuts after Turkey Day- I managed to secure a FREE (mostly) field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The field trip will take place on Sunday, November 27th at 11am. The first 50 kids will get in free. I then get 5 free adults, or one per 10 kids. If you are a free adult you must help manage the herd :0) Additional adults will get a discounted rate of $5.

We will begin at the T-Rex Encounter and go from there through most of the museum. I will let the kids set the pace. I will be highlighting some 4-H projects that apply to each section of the museum. You are welcome to go with our group or split off on your own. Members of any 4-H club and their guests are welcome, but please RSVP to me at vburney@cityofwestminster.us

Feel free to bring a sack lunch or purchase snacks at the on site cafe. Our group will break for lunch after T-Rex. Please wear any 4-H garb you have.

For our club, this will take the place of our second November meeting (which falls on Thanksgiving).

Meeting tomorrow

Hi Everyone,
given the weather, I think we will meet at the church tomorrow for pizza making and a Halloween craft. The church address is 5511 W. 136th Ave, in case you need it again. We will supply dough, sauce and cheese along with crafts. Please bring any favorite toppings that you like.

Jeff has found an awesome park in Superior that has a large fire pit for hot dogs and s'mores. This would be great option if the weather improves and doesn't leave the park too wet. So that is an option too. Let me know what you think!

Meeting ideas

Hi Everyone! I just checked and Rock Creek Pumpkin Patch closes at 6pm, so that will not work for our meeting next week. I will continue looking at area pumpkin patches to see if I can find another one to meet our needs, or we can switch days. Otherwise, I am open for ideas. Let me know if anyone thinks of something great! Feel free to email me at vburney@cityofwestminster.us

Meeting this Thursday & Leaders Supper

Hi Everyone! We will be meeting this Thursday for our first official meeting of the season. We will be doing a leaf collection and identification walk and a fall craft. Please dress warmly and in good shoes as we will be going on a short walk.

Please meet at the Clubhouse at Legacy Ridge Golf Course 10801 Legacy Ridge Parkway, Westminster, CO (close to 112th and Sheridan Bl.) at 6pm. Guests are welcome, but please RSVP so we have enough craft supplies. The meeting will run until 7:30 or 8.

See you there!
