Dear 4-H Family,
Will March come in like a lion?! I know many will agree with me that they are ready for spring and warmer temperatures. Daylight savings time begins on Sunday, March 8. Don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour!
The 4-H world is gearing up with many activities and events. This past weekend, many 4-Hers and their families participated in the Favorite Foods Contest along with Foods & Nutrition Judging, Crafts, and much more! 4-H members will be busy on Saturday, March 7, at the Horse Bowl. Sunday, March 8, is the first Archery Shoot for the spring. Be sure to sign up with Tammy to participate in this event. The Photography and Wood Science Judging Contests have been scheduled for Monday, March 9, from 4:00-8:00 pm. Other upcoming events include: Jr. Leader Weekend and Food Smarts Trainings.
Congratulations to Colleen Anderson, Erryn Smith and Nathaniel Vincent who will represent Sussex 4-H at National 4-H Conference April 11-16, 2015. We also congratulate our Sussex Salute to Excellence Winners. Jacalyn Bradley, Seaford Blue Jays Club Leader, received the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award. Gina Anger, Bridgeville Mustangs Leader, received the Volunteer of the Year Award. Hats off to these wonderful youth and adult leaders!
A Friendly Reminder – Please be sure to submit your club news to Tammy or myself by the 25th of each month. Include a fun activity, projects completed, and photos of your club in actions. We love to see and share what each club is doing!
Looking forward to seeing you at the next 4-H event!
Yours in 4-H,
Jill Jackson
