Special Meeting

• Go Green! Party
• I was thinking about having a "Go Green! Party" with the Jr. Leaders 4-H club and maybe the rest of Monroe County 4-H to allow them to meet each other. The ideas that I came up with are listed below. We could eventually use this to help 4-Hers from local counties (esp jr. leaders or collegiate 4-H to get to know each other.) I thought it would be cool to have to poster that they make to advertise 4-H for the county & to advertise IU Collegiate 4-H.
• Everyone wears green.
• Make a cool display board (or a bunch of green posters) about what members like best about their local (& state) 4-H program. Or what 4-H is to them. Or what ever they want to put down.
• Play music
• Play games
• Have a display about successful 4-Hers
• Drink Green Punch?
• Eat Green food?
• Have this happen around St. Patrick’s Day (when we & they are not on Spring Break)
• Invite other counties to have their 4-Hers join us?

• Achievement
• Possibly the 1st week in October (date could be moved) At the Fairgrounds
• 1 day
• Help the hungry/Award Ceremony

• Public Speaking/Demonstration Contest
• http://www.facebook.com/pages/Clark-County-4-H-Public-SpeakingDemonstrationAction-Demonstration-Contest/182823181763604
