Parade Pre-Meeting

We will have a Parade Pre-Meeting at 5PM on 10/26/11 at the Wells Library.

The parade will take place on October 28. We will meet at the street between Forest & Read. Here's our facebook event for the Homecoming Parade https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=224848787578289&context=create

Nearly Naked Mile

We will be participating in the Nearly Naked Mile on 10/24/11. Brady & Kate are in charge of this. Here's the FaceBook event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=294763670549590

Jill Behrman 5K

We will be volunteering at the Jill Behrman 5K from 8AM until noon on 10/22/11.

Jill was the daughter of Monroe COunty's former extension educator. She went out for a run. While she was running, she was abducted and later killed. It took 3 years to find her body.

This is appropriate because Lauren Spierer is missing right now. I hope they find her soon.

• Publicity/Promotion/Marketing Committee:
  Infoshare went well.
  A lot of people signed up or saw it and made a mental note about our club.
  We’re not flyering right away.
  We’ll flyer before orientation (and JSoM auditions).
  We want to strengthen the members that we already have.
  We might get someone who’s back early from winter break table about C4-H at the transfer orientation.
  


• History/Website Committee:
  No updates.
  


• Relay For Life Committee:
  Michael & Nathan will co-chair this.
  Jess will set the guys up with Jennifer Cullins so she can give them ideas to work off of. She’s led our Relay team plenty of times.
  The event is the same week as nationals.
  We were hesitant, but decided to do Relay anyway.

  We came up with this in the van ride back from the NCR Conference.
  Purdue is holding this. They got a $500 grant. It will probably not be an overnight event. We could volunteer to help them plan it.
  We’re going to send them what we came up with.
  We might set Brady (Jennifer would be willing to do this if Brady decides not to do this.) up with Tyler (PU) via Nathan.
  Someone from extension or the State office would have to be on the planning committee for this.
  Jeff just got a new position, so he wouldn’t have the time to do this.
  We could host the 2014+ North Central Region Conference?
  We could host it in Indy?
  We would have to work super hard on fundraising, grants, and sponsorships.
  Clubs have dissolved from the stress of an event like this. It might make the non-committee members feel outside of the loop.
  


• National Collegiate 4-H Conference
  We need to get the prices for this & book soon.
  We need to subscribe for the dates on Kayak.Com and HotWire.Com
  Fly with Southwest Airlines because it’s cheap.
  Use frequent flyer miles.
  Your fundraising goes towards this.
  5+ people might qualify as a group rate.
  We want to keep our money at the IU Credit Union rather than getting an SOA account.
  It’s a lot easier to get reimbursed etc.
  The vote to stay where we’re at was unanimous.

If you're interested in being a leader or active member this year, please e-mail us at iucollegiate4h@gmail.com! Also join our Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/2209093742/

Also let us know if you have ideas of what sorts of service projects you'd like to do in the community or volunteer opportunities with 4-H.

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
• Also, there are all of the notes/fliers from when Collegiate 4-H use to do workshops on Google Docs.
• If you need help learning about Google Docs, you can ask me for advice or find a tutorial on YouTube.
• To be in club, a person must be

• They already like and want to help children.
• Does Jeff know of any existing students that might be interested
• Meecha goes to Ivy Tech
• Coby Stillions
• Jerry Sears

• Jeff should find
• some of the higher students (phd) and see where they are.
• Would be here for 5 years (phd)

• Sharon Hutchinson was in band and she’s here

• Jeff could send out an invitation to our facebook event (from the page).
• Most of them will see it.
• Jeff recruit at Band, chorus, Jr. leader’s conference
• Jeff should e-mail a flier and ask for names of students going to IU to all the counties. I think he should list all of the schools that have a collegiate 4-H too. (I might e-mail Steve and talk to him about it.)
• use to take the leadership list off their website (Jess, could you send me that link).
• Steve told Jess that we could volunteer at events to get our name out there.
• There are no people that say anything about Collegiate 4-H
• Venue: send a flier. send it to all 92 counties.
