4-H Club Attendance Policy

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.
