Super Sitters Workshop
Rappahannock County 4-H is offering a Super Sitters’ workshop. This program is geared to teach 12 to 19-year -olds how to become great babysitters. Participants will learn skills to help them work well with children of various ages and abilities, hyper or unhappy children, knowing when to call the parentis, safety concerns, knowing what to charge per hour, and learning a bag of tricks that they can take with them to any babysitting job. Plus, any parent would be excited to hire someone who has taken this workshop. This workshop is FREE for anyone 12 -19 years of age. Once we have at least five people interested in participating, we will schedule a Sat for participants to meet for one six hour day. If you would like more information about this workshop, please call Jenny Kapsa, 4-H Coordinator, at the Extension office at 540:675-3619.

Dec. 27: That furry thing
you got for Christmas
The kitten or puppy that Santa brought to your household needs to be “fixed”. Ordinarily that would cost you a great deal of money. But the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, BAWL, had arranged for cats and dogs to be spayed or neutered for far, far less than the usual , fro. Figures vary, but no one pays more them $65.00.
The RAWL spay/neuter program is done through the shelter in Amissville, where a van is filled with pets each month. Owners must register and pay at the shelter. The next van trip is January 9, so please sign up, in person, before Jan. 7. Telephone the shelter at 540-937-3283 any morning, seven days a week; we’re here to take your call. By the way, if holiday bills leave you short, ask about our “scholarship* program for those in need of funds.
