Posted using ShareThis

How is your club meeting the "challenge"?

This 4-H year, clubs are being challenged to raise $10 per member to offset the cost of our 4-H program. Fundraisers, grants and donations are some of the routes that club members are choosing to meet their challenge.

The Olympia Pacesetters and Stanford Silver Stars 4-H clubs fees are being sponsored through Allin Township.

Gold Star Clovers have held several fundraisers to raise their program fees.

Ellsworth Tip Toppers have received a donation from Horizon Wind Energy.

So how is your club doing it? Maybe your members are selling candy bars, or your going to have a car wash this summer. Tell your story here! We'll list all of the clubs that achieve the challenge. They will also receive a patch for achieving the goal.
