4H NEWS

Teen Club is holding a yard sale, bake sale and car wash on Saturday, June 20, at the Extension Office.  Please support the event in any way you can (Come get a car washed, donate items, purchase items).  Tax receipts are available for donations made to 4-H Teen Club and our Yard Sale.
Because of low enrollment, we will be paying $5 more per camper and teen.  This cut heavily into our money for programming activities at Camp.  Teen Club, rather than ask each camper for $5 more, has decided to do a fund raiser.
We still are accepting campers until June 20.  It’s not too late to sign up your child for camp! Call 985-5236 or email .
