The Concord Junior Farmers 4-H Club will have their first organizational meeting on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 3 p.m. at the Whiteoak High School cafeteria.
Young adults ages 8 and in the third grade through age 18 as of Jan. 1, 2012 are encouraged to join and participate in a wide variety of projects, such as cooking, photography, scrapbooking, woodworking, gardening, insects, writing, animal science, collecting, first aid, genealogy, health, money management, rockets and animal projects, to name only a few. The only animal projects the club cannot accommodate are dog and horse projects as well as shooting sports. For those interested in those projects, contact the extension office.
Younger students ages 5 and in kindergarten up to age 8 and in second grade can join the Cloverbud group. They have a lot of fun leading the 4-H and American pledges and doing artwork, crafts and brief lessons in a noncompetitive manner.
Parents are encouraged/invited to be a part of the group as well. 4-H is a great family activity that provides a learning opportunity for all by working together as a team to complete project books and demonstrations and preparing for judging and the Highland County Fair. The group usually meets on Friday evenings and have refreshments after each meeting to help accommodate busy schedules.
The club would like to encourage anyone interested to attend this meeting to sign up as an opportunity for additional information. Members must be enrolled by April 2, and projects must be determined by May 1. Don't wait until warm weather arrives to think about 4-H and miss the deadline!
For further questions, please call Debbie Purvis-Heaton at 442-6444 or Martie Bratton at 442-2471.[[In-content Ad]]
