·         Jr. Leaders and Officers, besides being involved in the monthly meetings, are also asked to coordinate a workshop or club activity or community service.

 

·         Refreshments The first name listed on refreshments needs to coordinate the items for that night. YOU WILL NEED TO STAY AFTER THE MEETING TO HELP CLEAN UP.

·         Set-Up Families should show up one half hour before meeting times. SET-UP ALSO INCLUDES BREAKDOWN AND CLEAN UP

·         It is suggested that a 4-H T-shirt is purchased for every member and project leader to be worn during community service activities and 4-H activities. These can be purchased through the club. New Members will be asked to purchase T-shirts. The cost is $5 for new orders.

·         Club demonstrations and presentations will focus on the “how-to” process again this year.

2) Theme for 2007-2008 is establishing a Recycling Program. Will include personal, club and community aspects.

3) Developing club’s depth by working on awareness and involvement of County and State 4-H Opportunities.  

4) Choose a Charity of our Choice to donate funding and possibly volunteer activities.

5) Group Activities – both educational and recreational. At least one of each this year.
