Fundraiser Committee Meeting on November 16
It is time to start planning the annual fruit and frozen food fundraiser. Each club needs to have representation at the fundraiser committee meeting on November 16 at 7:00 p.m. at the Murray County 4-H Building. We'll select sales dates, verify products and prices, and sample a few things along the way. If interested in helping with the fundraiser, contact your club leader today.
Interested in joining the Murray County Ambassadors?
Join the Ambassadors as they meet the first Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m. Meetings are held in the Courts Building meeting room (except November 7 which is at the 4-H Building to decorate for the awards banquet).
Ambassadors help guide the county program by serving as leaders to younger 4-H'ers, assist at county fair, provide service throughout the community, and have a great time while learning leadership and team building. Eighth grade and older 4-H'ers are encouraged to join. Have questions? Contact Kim Hause.
