Activities this weekend

Big Jim wanted to remind you everyone of the upcoming events this weekend.  This is the last weekend we will be raffling off the John Deere blanket, and hopefully we will make some cash from the bake sale too.  The weather will not be great tomorrow, but we are going to try our best to be there. 

The time for the Christmas tree sale in Dux is nine to one-ish.  Come at 8:45 if you want to help set up, or later if that works better and stay as long as you can.  If you are not familiar with it, it is the Christmas Tree Lot on Rte 14 in Duxbury.  The road bends to the right around the police station as you're heading east on 14, and it's just past that on your left.

Big Jim also wanted me to remind you that on December 2 (Sunday) we will be at the Marshfield Tree Lighting from 2 - 5.  This is at Library Plaza, behind the Dairy Queen.  This will be the last day of the John Deere blanket raffle and we will sell the rest of the baked goods too.  At 5 we will walk the animals over to Molly Park behind the CVS.  Hopefully some of you can come both days - do what you can.

Club Elections This Saturday

If you could not make it to the meeting last night, the discussion was primarily about the club elections which will take place this Saturday November 17 at the Marshfield Fairgrounds at 9.  The meeting will likely be shorter than our normal barn meetings. 

All positions will be up for election:
President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary
Historian
News Reporter

(I'm sorry I could not find the printed descriptions for each position, but if you contact Jaime she should be able to get them to you)

If you would like to run, you must have been in 4H for at least 2 year.  You should arrive prepared with a written speech.  All candidates will give their speeches, and the voting will take place.  Don't be shy to run!

Also keep in mind that December 1 is the Christmas Tree Sale in Duxbury.  Times TBA.  We will be doing a bake sale, so please contribute if you can.  We will also be continuing the raffle for the John Deere blanket - these proceeds will go towards a gift for the O'Neil Farm. 

Don't forget the Santa photo op on Weds November 21 too!

Club Christmas Photo

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know about a special club photo session coming up - Mrs. Peavey and Big Jim would really like if everyone could come for a group club photo with Santa!   We will be meeting at the O'Neil Farm on Weds Nov 21 at 3 pm - I think most of us have a half day of school since it is the day before Thanksgiving (will confirm time with you all once Corinne confirms time with Chris).  Our local Duxbury "Santa" has graciously offered to pose with the club and animals free of charge because he so appreciates the hard work the kids all put into 4H.  We would love to get a group photo, and then whomever would like individual photos with Santa and their heifer (or just a cute calf!) will be able to take those.  Please let us know if you can make it so we will know how many to expect.

Thank you
Maryellen Lee
