February 11th Club Meeting

 Our club meeting for the entire club will be Feb 11th 6:30pm at the AJ Multi Gen center. 


At our last horse project meeting we had a few members present a horse demonstration on a topic they selected about horses. We have a few that will need to present at our Feb 11th meeting so I have decided to open it up to the remaining club members. So those that are in lamb, swine, holstein calf or if you maybe have an interest in a future project please plan a demonstration speech to share at the February meeting. 

(Remember this is a great thing to list in your record book) Especially when it comes time to apply for

 4-H scholarships. The more active you are within your club the better chance you have to be successful obtaining scholarships.


Below is a list to some great topics for a demonstration speech.

Lost Dutchman Rodeo - Ticket Sales Sign up

 Hello 4-H families, 


I cannot stress enough about how much we need help from the ENTIRE club to pull this event off. It's an entire weekend of busy ticket sales. We still have many open slots of times we need each family to participate in. If we do not fill the slots that leaves us short handed on each day, TICKET SALES are BUSY!! I don't want to have to think that we can't commit each year to this event. I am here the entire weekend working it for the kids of our club. I need your help.

Keep in mind this event is what gives back to our club so that we have funds for T-shirts, project equipment. 

I need everyone to please look at the their calendars and sign up where you can help. 


https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f044aa8a929abfb6-lost3  Sign up here.


Here is who signed up for Friday
