4-H Achievement Banquet-Sunday 3:30-5:30pm, October 28, 2007

If you would like to go, please contact Ellen and she will try to coordinate rides. Ellen will send messages on Facebook about rides.

Need to come up with a 30 minute activity for participants. Consensus is to do a variety of icebreakers. Suggestions include: ”Trainwreck,” or human scavenger hunt. All members are encouraged to brainstorm some questions (approx. 10) to Ellen by Thursday (tomorrow). Another idea is to hold a fundraiser for Ross at the Banquet by using a jar of M&Ms or a large cookie and guessing how many M&Ms are in the jar or chocolate chips in the cookie. Ellen will be contacting the Monroe County Office to get papers printed.
