4-H Youth Development
4-H Youth Development programs give young people a chance to learn important skills, gain experience in teamwork and accountability and contribute to their communities. 4-H Youth Development Educators connect the University of Wisconsin to the community through local coalition and community programs.

Summer is here, I think, and our food stand fundraiser needs to get started again. As mentioned earlier, this year the Board of Directors has recommended that every 4-H club have representation on the food stand committee. We know that all of you have some great ideas on how we can improve this fundraiser and we want to hear them and hopefully use them. We would like to have one adult and/or one youth from each club so everyone can have input.
Our first meeting will be held, rain or shine, at the fairgrounds in Gillett on Saturday June 22nd at 10:00a.m. General Leaders please let Arvilla Rusnak, Board of Directors President (920-848-4843) know by Thursday, June 20th who will be attending to represent your club. A few clubs have already responded, thank you!
We look forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas about how to make this food stand the best one ever!
Happy Summer
