2010 National 4-H Week

National 4-H Week will soon be here! Every year this week is designated as a special week to promote the 4-H program across our nation! This is a great time to make some extra efforts to tell someone about 4-H! During each day of National 4-H Week I will post a 4-H Trivia question on this blog. If you are the first person to email me or call me with the correct answer to the question you will win a prize from the 4-H Prize Vault!! I am also beginning to plan some fun events for National 4-H Week so be sure to check out your next newsletter for more info!

Upcoming Community Event

The Hertford County 4-H Program would like to invite 4-H members to assist with the 4-H booth/display at an upcoming community event.  The C.S. Brown Cultural Arts Center Board of Directors is hosting A Children's Day of Reflection & Peace on Saturday, September 11, 2010.  This community event will be held from 10am - 2:00 pm.  Youth ages 5-18 years old are invited to attend free of charge.  The day's events include: performances by area churches and school groups, an interactive theatre workshop for children, arts and crafts, cooking demonstrations and much more.  Light refreshments will be served and door prizes will be awarded.  I am looking for youth who would be willing to come to this event to help do a craft activity with the children in attendance.  Please email sherry_channell@ncsu.edu to volunteer!
