Demonstrations!

                Just a reminder that all 4-H members are asked to give a demonstration or brief talk some time during the 4-H Calendar Year. Typically, you can talk about how you decided on, developed and completed a project for the prior years fair, but you can actually do any type of demonstration – from cooking, to doing gymnastics.

(If you are a new member you are not required to do a demonstration – but you can if you want!)

                Demonstrations should have enough detail in them to explain the project, what steps you had to take to complete the project, challenges you had and a summary. Please talk to a Hudson Ag Officer or to Laurie if you’re not sure what to talk about, or you need some advice.

GOALS

Officers will track similar to roll call

Incentives such as a year end drawing

          Will be used to promote involvement

2)     Resolve the issues of decreased interest in the Wildlife Garden. Alternatives could be

a)     Create a “Garden Club” that would expand the interests of the group beyond the garden to include horticulture activities, the Christmas tree, etc.

b)     Partner with Hudson Garden Club

c)      Return property to Township

3)     Adopt Make A Wish as primary charity. Officers will consider ways to fund raise and promote

4)     Complete the two unfinished projects from our 75th Anniversary and the Hinshaw Memorial Money.

Complete the expansion of the Hudson Ag 4H cabinets at the Town Hall

Plant and landscape the memorial tree.

5)     Explore the possibility of an intramural softball series of games that would include club, alumni and parents.

6)     Create a mentoring program between officers and junior leaders and new members.

7)     Club focus(es) for 2006-2007 are Food & Nutrition and Electricity
