May- June 2013 Meetings

Welcome to Good News 4-H!  Here are our meetings for the next month.  Guests are always welcome.  It is too late for  NEW members over the age of 8 to participate in County Fair for 2013, however, you are still welcome to participate in our club activities through the summer.  Children 5-7 may still participate in Adams County Fair in the "mini" division, which is non-competitive and may showcase their awesome creations on our Cloverbud table at fair.  Of course, they are also welcome at any of our summer activities too.  There is no enrollment fee due until Oct 2013 (should you choose to continue at that time).  There may be a small donation request per activity from the club.  It is noted below.  If no donation is stated- activities are free.

HI All,

Here is the kickoff for weekly meetings.  Please remember, meetings are optional. Please make what you can and don't feel guilty about the rest.  Guests are always welcome.  Simply let me know a number so I can plan enough supplies.

 

 tomorrow 4-H meeting will be at the church (5511 W. 136th Ave, Broomfield) at 6:30.  Please plan on grubby shirts as we will be making friendship bracelets and using dye on them.  We will also have tiny chickens for poultry showmanship practice and kids are welcome to bring any other projects they would like to work on.  remember- we do have a full kitchen at the church if needed.

 

 

Next week- May 30th We will be doing tie dye outside the church, if the weather is nice.  Please wear grubby clothing.  If it will be raining, we will still hold a meeting but we will be doing a different activity.  The club will be providing white T shirts to dye.  Please email a specific size if you care.  Otherwise we will have some adult med- large and a few youth sizes on hand.  Feel free to bring any other items you may like to dye including pillow cases, socks, etc.  Kids may work on their 4-H projects instead if they choose.  I am going to try and be at the church by 5:30.  You are welcome to come early if you wish.  I could use a few adult or older kid helpers at each dye or banding station.

 

Tie Dye projects will be going home wet, in a plastic bag.  They will need to sit overnight at least.  Please remind your child not to pitch them into the washer with other clothing (at least for the first wash :0), as this will result in much more dyed clothing then you bargained for!  A $2 donation per shirt is appreciated.  That is what we will have to pay for them.  Money will replenish our fundraising account. 

 

 

June 6th - Offsite- Summer Picnic and Fishing

We will be meeting at EB Rains Park- across from the Northglenn Rec Center, very close to 120th and I-25.

I will be trying to book a picnic pavilion.  They are very reasonable.  More info on which pavilion to follow.  I think we should potluck, if you guys want to.  Kids can fish.  Pond will be stocked June 1st for the kids' fishing derby.    I have a few poles and lots and lots of tackle.  So, even if you do not have equipment, bring kids down to fish!  Please sign up for potluck here: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C044DAFA62AA64-summer

 

June 13th-  Demonstrations - any child showing at fair needs to do at least one demonstration.  We would also like to encourage all of our members to practice this vital skill. This is your chance!  Kids can make cookies, plant a seed, fire off a rocket or whatever they can think of.  Demonstrations could also be physical skills such as "how to shoot a free throw." If your child would like to do a demonstration, please sign up here:  www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C044DAFA62AA64-demonstration   We will also be making plastic bead necklaces and or other jewelry for a community service project.  So please come and learn and/or teach and serve!  Please let me know if you need materials.   Cloverbuds (5-7 year olds) are also encouraged to show off their skills. Thank you!
