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.

All positions will be up for election:

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!

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

Fair And Meetings

Hi guys, 

As of right now I'm sitting at O'neil farm with big Jim because we have a meeting and NOBODY is here. You only have two meetings left until fair. You need to be at both of these meetings if you actually plan to take your calf to the fair. There's been at least twelve meetings since lease forms were signed, but it seems to be the same five or six kids at every meeting. Boss isn't happy with the lack of effort being put into the calves that he so generously allowed each of you to lease, it would be nice if you actually showed some interest in your calf. If you show up thursday for the first time all summer, don't expect your calf to be the first on the trailer. Only a select group have washed their calves and nobody has clipped. Monday the meeting will be AT ONEILS FROM 2-4. I'm asking Chris to be around to help that day, as everyone should wash that day and clip on Tuesday. By not showing up to meetings your only hurting yourselves. I can't force you to be here and work with your calfs but Its going to show in the ring if you haven't worked with your animal, and a good judge will tell you that. Twelve cows have been leased from Mr. O'Neil and I hope that all twelve can be shown next week. 

On that note, at the Monday meeting it would be nice if everyone (including kids not leasing) could show up as we will be cleaning and organizing the show box and halters. If you need a show halter/ barn halter /rope halter etc I have plenty to loan- just text me preferably before Monday at 339-793-3799 and I can bring whatever you need. 

Saturday August 11th our meeting will be at the fairgrounds from 9-12 for cleanup day. Bring brooms rakes shovels etc. after there will be lunch and a Safety Meeting worth achievement points! 

If you are showing a cow and are not at the meetings Monday and Tuesday without a valid reason told to me susan or big jim before the meetings- it will be assumed you have no interest in showing this season.  
Thanks, Jaime

Upcoming Fair Events and Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Plymouth County 4-H Families and Friends,

The Marshfield Fair is coming up fast and this is one of the best opportunities to showcase all the wonderful things that Plymouth County 4-H is a part of.

In addition to animal shows, demonstrations and 4-H Day, the Marshfield Fair serves as the major fundraising event for Plymouth County 4-H for the entire year. To go along with the money raised through the 4-H Water Booths, we also have a 4-H Auction during the Fair that will take place on Friday, August 24^th at 6 PM.

In order to make this 4-H Auction the best yet, we need help from you! Please consider soliciting items for our 4-H Auction or if you own a business or could provide a service, please consider making a donation. We are looking for new items, gift certificates, event tickets, travel opportunities and anything else that would be a great auction item.

All money raised will go to support local 4-H programs throughout Plymouth County. This money helps support Visual Presentation Day, 4-H Awards Night, provides t-shirts for all members, scholarship opportunities and many more important programs through the year.

Following this email is a letter you may print and submit to a business to request a donation. 4-H Volunteer and Advisory Council Member, Jeanine Adams is organizing this year's auction and she would love to hear from you if you can help. Please contact Jeanine at emailjeanine@yahoo.com or contact the Plymouth County 4-H Office.

All items can be dropped off at the Plymouth County 4-H Office. Please help support this fundraising effort, all help will be greatly appreciated!

Following, is a letter you can use for the donations. Jeanine Adams has graciously volunteered her time to oversee this great event! Thank you Jeanine!

Also, we sell water every year in the 2 water booths at the Fair. This money goes towards your t shirts, awards night and other programs and benefits for your 4-H program.  We need people to volunteer just 4 hours in the booth to sell the water. Grab a few club members and a parent or volunteer and have fun while helping 4-H. it s a great way to meet other 4-H members and families! Plus you get into the fair free that day!

Attached is a letter explaining the water booth. You can contact Marie Van Slyck to volunteer and for more information at meekvan@gmail.com. She has graciously volunteered her time to run this large undertaking! Thank you Marie and Pieter!

 

On another note- the storm last week did damage to the wiring at the office so we are down to one phone line 781-293-3542 for a little while and my bulk email server has been malfunctioning so if you have received duplicate notices about the Marshfield Fair I apologize.  Email Molly at Mvollmer@umext.umass.edu or me here at acampora@umext.umass.edu until further notice as it is usually working.  Thank you for your understanding.

4-H Youth & Family Development Program

 

 

                                                                                                                        July 16, 2012

 

 

Dear Plymouth County Businessperson,

 

Each year, thousands of families look forward to visiting the Marshfield Fair to participate in the activities, enjoy the entertainment, and expose their children to the agricultural and animal programs that are active locally. We hope you are as excited by the Marshfield Fair and think of the Fair as a "must do" summer fun activity. 

 

As you may know, the 4-H livestock, poultry, rabbit, and dog exhibitions and shows are a large part of the daily Fair programs.  The Fair, in conjunction with the Plymouth County Extension Office, sponsors exhibit space and animal shows for area 4-H youth to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the year and to raise awareness of the various 4-H programs within the community.  At the end of the Fair, an awards ceremony is held for participants, parents, and Fair attendees to honor those prize-winning young people who have earned high placements at the shows and who have been distinguished for special awards. 

 

The ever-increasing cost of sponsoring 4-H activities combined with dwindling state and county support has resulted in fewer opportunities and programs for the many deserving 4-H youth in Plymouth County. In an effort to offset the reduction in support, we will be holding an auction at the Fair at 6 pm on Friday, August 24th for the benefit of Plymouth County 4-H and 4-H programs at the Marshfield Fair.  For this reason, we are reaching out to business owners in the area for some help with this fundraiser by donating tax deductible items, gift certificates, or services to be auctioned off at this event.  Your generosity will be publicly acknowledged to those attending the auction – and we're expecting a big crowd!   This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate your support of one of the few remaining agricultural fairs in the area, 4-H programs, and have a positive impact on local youth.

 

We hope that you will be able to help us out this year to insure that 4-H programs continue to be available for young people in Plymouth County at the Marshfield Fair and throughout the year.  I welcome the opportunity to discuss sponsorship opportunities and ways you can offer your support. Please call me anytime at (781) 243-1556 or email me at "emailjeanine@yahoo.com".  I plan to follow up with you within the next few days.

 

Thank you so much for helping us make this year's 4-H shows the best ever!

 

                                                                        Sincerely,

 

 

                                                                        Jeanine Adams

                                                                        4-H Auction Coordinator

 

 

JA/m

Hope we can count on you this

 

MESSAGE FROM MARIE- WATER BOOTH

Hello, Fellow 4-H Volunteers-
Hope you are all enjoying all this heat! As usual, the summer brings the Fair season and an email from me begging for help to staff the 4-H water booths at the Fair.

For those of you who haven't been able to help out w/this fundraiser in the past or those of you who may be new leaders/volunteers, a little explanation is in order..... The Plymouth County 4-H Advisory Council helps to plan, organize, fund, and implement a number of important programs that benefit all youth (regardless of project area) in the Plymouth County 4-H Program. These include Recognition Night and Project Record Awards, Communications (VP) Day, and Club Exhibit Week and Celebration, to name a few. We also provide financial assistance to 4-H'ers in need of a little help to attend 4-H events, programs, or camps as well as an annual college scholarships.

For the past five years, we have sold bottled water at the Marshfield Fair and have successfully increased our earnings each year. Last year we raised $5,000! This year our goal is $5,500, so pls. keep your fingers crossed and pray for lots of hot sun and NO rain! Because the Fair gives us the booths/space free, we also sell Marshfield Fair souvenirs, and the proceeds from these sales are kept separate and given to the Fair management. We are fortunate again this year to have two booths from which we can sell water. We will have the same big booth as last year, across from the show ring office, plus another smaller one. The location of the second smaller booth is still undecided, but will be positioned to take advantage of heavy foot traffic near the 4-H area. So, once again, I am making my plea for volunteers. We need a lot of volunteers to cover all of the time slots of these two booths if we have a chance of meeting our goal this year.

The shifts will be four hours long - from noon to 4 p.m. and from 4-8 p.m. We will need at least one adult (leader or parent volunteer) at each booth during all shifts. The Fair dates are from 17-26 Aug 12. As you can imagine, this fundraiser requires a lot of man/woman hours, so we can use all the help we can get. We hope you will be able to help us in this effort by taking one or more shifts. It's okay if your club takes a 4-hour shift and splits it up into two 2-hour shifts as long as there is always an adult and at least two club members who are older/responsible enough to handle money and interact w/the public.

If you cannot cover a shift yourself, please pass this email along to a fellow volunteer or helpful 4-H parent who may not have received this email. Also, don't forget to announce this need for help at your next club meeting to try to recruit more parent volunteers . This is a great way for your club to conduct a community service activity while supporting the Plymouth County

4-H Program. Shifts will be assigned on a "first-come / first-served" basis, so pls. let me know the shift you are willing to take as soon as possible. As the schedule fills up, the time/date you want or need may not longer be available. I will do my best to accommodate everyone's schedule.

Thanks for taking the time to read this (too long!) email. Please help. I will be following up again within the next few weeks if I don't hear back from you. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at home in the evening at 781-934-6149 or leave me a message on my cell phone anytime, 617-842-5193. Things get a little crazy this time of year, so email is always the best way to reach me. Hope to hear from you very soon and to get the schedule filled up early this year!
Regards,
Marie Van Slyck, Treasurer
Plymouth County 4-H Advisory Council

Rooster needs a home

Susan,

I have some chickens, and one which I thought was a hen has developed into a rooster which I cannot have with the proximity of my neighbors. I thought that you or someone in the club would know what I can do with him, as I heard there may be someone in Pembroke that takes them? Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thank you, Jonathan

Historic ONeil Farm Volunteering Info - Updated

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@gmail.com 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.

Another reminder for tomorrow and a note from Jamie

Hey everybody,
     First off thanks to everyone (nicole, Alexa, Molly and big Jim) for your help at the clean up Marshfield event! I was really hoping for a bigger turn out..
     Just a reminder that we will be at the Fairgrounds painting the beef barn tomorrow from 9-1! Make sure to wear your painting clothes! And try to brimg s couple dollars for pizza or bring a lunch if you prefer. Also, I could not get in touch with the Nevins farm people so it seems we won't get around to that this vacation. I'll keep trying to get in touch with them because I definitely want to make it up this summer! It will be a great learning experience for everyone!
      May first will be here before you know it so make sure you get your two projects  done, as this rule will be strictly enforced this year. If you're concerned you won't get your projects done because you had reasonable excuses for not attending, contact me and we can work something out.  

Jamie
