Reminders for this weekend

Hello All,

Big Jim has asked me to send out some reminders for this weekend - we've got a lot of things coming up!

This Friday night Dec 2:  The Marshfield Community Christmas Telethon takes place at the Daniel Webster school (also in Marshfield).  For those of you new to the event, it is comprised of different community groups and individuals who entertain on live TV, while donations (hopefully) pour in for the Community Christmas fund.  We plan to meet @7 or so there. Everyone is asked to donate a few dollars.  The club will then match the amount collected from members and present a check on live TV.(WATD) 

Saturday Dec 3:  The Duxbury Christmas Tree Sale takes place from 10 -2.  Come any time.  We will be doing a bake sale so if everyone can bring something would be great.  The address is 200 West St (fairly near the bend in the road where the police station is).  There is a sign there for the sale. Jimmy will try to get there around 9 to set up if anyone wants to come earlier.

And last but not least, Monday Night Dec 5,  there will be a  special meeting for elections only at 6 pm at the fairgrounds.  Please try to be there. Candidates for club offices should bring speeches and we will vote after.   Hopefully we will be done by 7 !!!

Thank you!!
Maryellen Lee

4H Updates and Important Reminders

Hey everyone,
                Hope your school years are off to a great start! Now that we are starting the 2011-2012 4h year, I figure it is time to address some important information.
                Most importantly, everyone needs to get his or her enrollment forms in ASAP if you have not already! Having them at the next meeting would be great.
                Equally important, elections for the 2011-2012 4h years will be November 19th at the O'Neil barn meeting. Anybody that has been in 4h at least one year can run and all positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian) are open. Being a club officer is a big responsibility and communication with leaders and other officers is vital. Position details will be discussed Monday in case anybody is interested. PLEASE have a speech PREPARED the day of elections if you plan on running. Elections will be held this day regardless of attendees, be there if you want your voice heard!
                Your attendance this year will be of extreme importance. By enrolling as a member of Farmtastic 4hers, you have made a commitment to the club. We are trying to do a lot more AS A CLUB this year, and you being there is a huge contribution.
                Since we are trying to do more together this year, we would like to increase how much we meet. The tentative plan is to have meetings at the fairgrounds the first and third Monday of the month along with our meetings at O'Neil farm the first and third Saturdays of every month. Weather depending, barn meetings may be moved to the fairgrounds. With more meeting times, we will be able to get more done, and there will be more opportunity to attend meetings. We would like everyone to attend AT LEAST one of each meeting every month.
****Because of Community Christmas, be aware that fair meetings may be cancelled or relocated. ****
                At our next fair meeting, (November 14th) collections for the 4h food drive will be made. Please try to bring plenty of non-perishable items for those less fortunate.
                This winter, as a community service project we would like to recreate the felt banners hanging in the dairy barn at the Marshfield Fair. The present ones are old and tattered, and we think it would be nice if we could remake them and present them to the fair. Of course, if anyone has other ideas, this is open for discussion.
                SAVE THE DATES- For fundraising this winter, we have two events coming up. Friday November 25th from 10-2, we will be working at the Kiwanis Christmas Tree Sales. In addition, Saturday December 3rd from 10-3 we will be working at the Duxbury Christmas Tree Sales. If you can attend one or both of these events, please let Mrs. Peavey or Big Jim know. Both events will be discussed in detail at the meeting Monday.
                On a side note, I would like to try to get an order in for t-shirts, etc. design pictures and prices will be available at the meeting Monday.
                Come to the meeting Monday with projects and ideas you would like to do this year. We want to make this a good experience for all of you by teaching things that are of interest to you, and doing things that will help you grow in to responsible adults.
We are looking forward to a great year with everyone! See you all Monday! Thanks,
Jaime, Mrs. Peavey and Big Jim
