Dear 4-H Families,

Happy Holidays!  December is a month to celebrate the spirit of community and spend
extra time with our loved ones.  Please be sure to read all the posts in the newsletter and mark your calendars with all the exciting 4-H activities!  Upcoming events for December and January
include the Hippology Contest, Grinch Themed Holiday Party, State Ice Skating Party, Winter Fun Day, State Indoor Archery Competition, and the Public Speaking Contest!

Thank you to the families who attended our annual Card Party for Heroes.  Over 450 cards were made to be delivered to our military for the holiday season!  During December, many clubs participate in holiday parades and community service activities.  Other clubs are donating to local nursing homes and families in need.  Thank you for thinking of and serving our community!

I hope you enjoy this holiday season with your family and friends.  As we look forward to the New Year 2025, set your sights high and try new things.  There are sure to be many wonderful opportunities to explore!

Yours in 4-H,
Jill Jackson
