THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
OUR MILITARY FAMILIES!
This year, our
service learning
focus is the Mili-
tary. We want to
do something for
all parts of the
military: active military men and
women, veterans, and military fami-
lies.
At our first cookery, 4-H members
participated in a workshop, learning
more about the military and making
cards to send to soldiers deployed
overseas.
At each cookery, 4-H members will
learn a little more about our military.
NOVEMBER SERVICE: At the Novem-
ber 9 cookery (Poultry and Egg
Cookery at Bourg Elementary), we
ask that each 4-H member donate
ONE item to help us make care
packages to send to our soldiers. If
you cannot make the cookery on
November 9, we will collect the
items at the 4-H office. We ask the
all items be turned in to the 4-H
office by November 18, 2013.
