September Activities

Hello Everyone!
The end of State Fair is looming and it is time to gear up for a new 4-H year!  We had a parent meeting last night.  We decided we would like the club to have a greater community service focus.  So, we will be choosing a community service project each month.  Many of the projects will tie into 4-H skills as well.

Many clubs traditionally take the month of September off.  We decided we would like to do a few activities, but hold off on formal meetings until October.

New members are always welcome!  We take boys and girls of all ages.  We do our best to support all projects.  Please come on down to any of our activities to check us out and meet some of our club members.  Please email me at vburney@cityofwestminster.us  to RSVP, so we can plan enough supplies.  Thank you.
