🐴📣 HORSE PROJECT FAMILIES — HAC CALL REMINDER! 📣🐴

 Mark your calendars! 🗓️ Our next couty Horse Advisory Committee (HAC) call is October 27th @ 6:30pm via zoom! Zoom Link 

We highly recommend that TWO volunteers from our horse project attend each monthly call. Why? Because staying informed helps our entire horse family! 💚

✅ Stay in the know about upcoming horse shows, clinics, events, and important updates.
✅ Bring information back to share with the rest of our horse project families.
✅ Have a voice in decisions that affect our horse program.
✅ Have voting rights when the board needs to vote! 🗳️

You don't have to know everything about the HAC to participate! Just bring your willingness to listen, learn, and help keep our horse project moving forward. The more involved we are, the stronger our horse community becomes! 🤝🐴

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Who can volunteer to represent our horse project on the October 27th call? Let's make sure our families stay informed and our voices are heard!

October Community Club Meeting

 Our October community club meeting will be on October 22, 2026 from 6pm to 8pm at the AJ Rec Center.

This will be the meeting where the kids who would like to run for a club officer position will give a speech as to why they are running and then the youth members will submit their ballots for who they are voting for. The term is for the year for all positions. 

President - The president leads the club meetings, ensures that officers give reports on club business, and strives to engage all members in club committees and activities. The president's leadership directly affects the involvement of the 4-H member in the club!

Vice President - The vice president is the president’s assistant and greets members and guests at the meetings. It is also the Vice President’s role to help in developing and carrying out the activities of the club‘s program calendar, and provide leadership and direction for the club‘s educational programs.

Treasurer - Duties include helping plan the club‘s budget for the year, plus providing financial records to members, the public and the University.

Secretary - The secretary keeps a record of what the club does, keeps accurate records, and handles its correspondence.

Historian - The Historian maintains the club‘s scrap-book to document important events. Adding names, dates and short descriptions to scrapbook entries helps future members know what took place. The historian uses creativity to record memories for the group! Helps take photos at project meetings to share on our FaceBook page.

Recreation Leader - The recreation leader plans and leads fun activities at meetings that involve all members. This may also include helping to plan larger social events throughout the year.

We look forward hearing all the great speeches! 

September Community Club - Update

 Hello, 

Thanks to everyone who attended tonight. We have added the agenda to the tab on our blog for those that could not make it to review. We also sent an email earlier today with a link to the club by laws, and the reimbursement opportunities. 

If there are any questions do not hesitate to reach out! 

We voted on a new T-Shirt design! Thank you to those who participated. We will be working with the graphic designer now and watch soon for an order form.

Thank you, 

Michelle
