National 4-H Week
National 4-H Week is October 1-7th. We are going to celebrate by holding an ice cream social on Tuesday, October 3rd at 8:30PM at the Coldstone Cremery on Kirkwood.
Everyone is invited and you can bring friends!
Make sure to be festive by wearing green and/or white!
The IU Circle K club will be holding a fundraiser there by scooping the icecream, so you can help them by saying you're there to support Circle K. Hopefully they'll invite their members to one of our future fundraisers in return!

Camping Retreat
