Thank You!

The Super Saturday Committee would like to thank all of the parents who jumped in to help at this year's Super Saturday, It was really great to have all of the extra help! We couldn't have gotten through the day without all of you! Thank you!

4-H Club Attendance Policy

A youth that enrolls in a 4–H club/group, but fails to attend 1/3 meetings cannot receive the top awards at the 4-H Shows and Fair. It is also expected that members attend tours, workshops, or other activities sponsored by the club/group Do your part, follow through on your club commitments!

Foundation Pizza Report

Thanks to everyone who sold Club's Choice products, the Foundation Pizza sale was one of the best ever. We made a profit of $9,308.10!! Good Job!! See the list of winners below.

We were very pleased with the way the morning went on Pizza Delivery Day. Although it didn't work quite as we planned at first, once we got it figured out, it went well and nearly everyone was out of the YMCA by 8:15 a.m.! Wow!

We've made some notes for next year on ways to improve Delivery Day and make it go more smoothly. Thank you again.

Rural Health Careers Camp

A FREE summer camp for current high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who are interested in pursuing a health-related career in college will be held Friday, June 8th, 2007 through Sunday, June 10th, 2007. It will be located at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL. Students will be housed in an adult-supervised residence hall on campus. This is a great opportunity for youth to:

1) Learn current information about the broad array of careers available in the health professions, especially in Northern Illinois.

2) Experience the college campus, including residence hall life and activities.

3) To be inspired and gain a passion for science, math, and helping others while pursuing health-related careers.
