UMass Dairy Camp Date Correction

Hi Everyone,

I was in touch with Carrie RE the date of the Novice Dairy Camp.  The flier lists June 11 as the date, but the correct date is Saturday, June 2.  The Advanced Camp is June 2 & 3 as listed.  I hope that clears up any confusion.

Junior Friends of the O'Neil Farm

The Historic O'Neil Farm board is starting a new Junior Friends Summer Program for ages 9 - 12 and would like the help of 1 or 2 4H members a session to demonstrate how to handle a calf and help to answer questions and show the kids around the farm.     The program starts on May 12 and runs through the summer 9-11 alternating Saturdays of the 4H meetings.    The kids in the program will not be handling the 4H leased calves, but if the helper would like to demonstrate using their own calf (and get some extra time working with their calf) that would be fine.    We'd like 4H members who are 13 and older and have at least 1 year experience in the club.     We hope some of the kids in the program will be interested in joining 4H in following years.

The dates are:

May 12 - Sat.

June 9 - Sat.

June 23 - Sat.

July 14 - Sat.

July 28 - Sat.

Aug. 7 - Tuesday

Sept 8 - Sat.

Program is held from 9-11 am.

Please email the HistoricOneilFarm.org if you can volunteer for any of these dates.    We will add you to our online sigh-up for Historic O'Neil Volunteers and you will receive an email reminder during the summer or change your volunteer date if necessary.      If you can look at your summer calendars now and email us, we'd like to know as soon as possible how much help we will need to get other than 4H members.     

Also, there is a Preschool program that will be held a couple of Tuesdays and will be help during the summer and we are looking for adult volunteers for help around the farm.      There will be separate emails regarding that sign-up.

Thank you very much -- we are looking forward to broadening the community awareness and support for the farm this summer.
