October 7 (Tonight) - 4-H Holiday at Sgt Bluff United Methodist Church. This is a great time to meet other 4-H'ers, make crafts, decorate cookies and learn about project areas.
Operation Christmas Child - Please bring to the next meeting items that can fit in a shoe box (school supplies, toiletries, small toys, hard candy) or fill your own shoe box as this will be our community service project for the month. Please do not include any "war" type toys or chocolate. Items do not need to be expensive and can be for children 4-14. More details will follow in another e-mail.
Please reply to this e-mail with your ideas for future meetings and community service projects. We now have nearly 50 members in the club with almost 20% of them being new. We want this club to be educational and be involved in the community, so please share your ideas!
