Livestock Farm Day Educational Opportunity at Tufts Vet School
Hi All,
I just wanted to let you know about an educational opportunity available at Tufts, up in North Grafton at the Vet School. It is free of charge and open to all. (There is a charge for lunch, programs are free) It will be hands on, so expect to get a little dirty! Below is the information and registration info if you are interested. This is not a 4H event per se, but it certainly seems right up our alley.
Have fun,
Maryellen Lee

4H Important meeting update reminders
I just wanted to make sure that everyone has the date of May 9th as the next monthly meeting..6p-730p.This will be a mandatory meeting for all parents and 4H members as Molly Volmer will be conducting the meeting regarding lease requirements for the Marshfield fair.
If you are not planning to commit to showing at the Marshfield Fair, Jimmy, Lisa and I need to know that before May 1st. It is very expensive for Mr. O'Neil to have the cows vet checked for the fair. There also needs to be a commitment that the cows will be worked with during the summer to prepare them for the different shows at the Marshfield Fair. As of today Marshfield Fair will be the only fair that the club will be participating in.
Barn meetings will be MAY 7th and MAY 21st
Thank you,
Susan ,Lisa and Big Jim
