1. 2015-16 All-Star Applications Due This Week!
All-Stars are an integral part of our 4-H Program- they help plan county wide events, attend leadership conferences, and demonstrate how amazing 4-Hers are! And thats only part of it!
If you are at all interested in becoming an All-Star check out the attached application and checklist to give you a better idea of how to apply and how to go about planning your service project!
Applications are due to the office by November 5th! Feel free to call if you have any questions at all!
**Hint Hint- Being an All-Star is a great experience to share with your friends- see if you can get a group together and make it even more fun! I also have plenty of project ideas rattling around in my head so let me know if you need any suggestions! I have a great idea for reaching out to the community garden in Hollister so let me know if you would like to hear more about my idea!
***I have attached a couple of documents that have tons of service learning project ideas that could easily be turned into all-star projects that would invite the community to participate in our program! So if your looking for an idea check them out! And of course call me if you need any help at all!
