This is the week that 4-H’ers across the country celebrate as National 4-H Week.
It’s an opportunity to tell the folks in our community about 4-H, to thank the donors who sponsor scholarships and events throughout the year, and to recruit new 4-H members and 4-H leaders.
There are currently five 4-H clubs in the county: the Teen Club, Amissville, Chester Gap, Horse and Pony, and Livestock clubs. “We’d like to have more! If we had more parents or adult volunteer leaders to work with a club,” stated Helen Smith, Extension Home Economist.
There are two types of clubs:
Project Clubs, like the Horse and Pony and Livestock Clubs. These clubs meet once a month and conduct an educational program on that one project. There are lots of project materials available for 4-H leaders to use on subjects like pet care, photography, sewing, foods and nutrition, forestry, electricity, wildlife, woodworking and computers, if you’d like to start a new club.
Community Clubs, like the ones we have at Chester Gap and Amissville. These clubs meet monthly to conduct an educational workshop, hear a guest speaker, or occasionally take a field trip. The community clubs don’t concentrate on one project, but have a variety of programs to interest all the members and all ages.
