Relay for Life!

So far the Indiana University Collegiate 4-H Club has raised $932.60 for the American Cancer Society through their Relay for Life team. And it keeps growing every day!

Fundraiser Committee Meeting

January 31, 2007

Lindie Hohler, Alicia Jennings, Ellen Weinzapfel and Jessica Falkenthal met in Teter Formal Lounge at 5 PM to discuss fundraising opportunities for the club. Here are the main ideas:

Moose Club of Bloomington, IN – Jess called at the meeting. All we need to do is give a short presentation on our history and what their donation will be used for.

Fazoli’s Night- Have a night where we get so much of the profits. Lindie is looking into this.

Selling food in Ballantine Hall- Pizza, Dagwoods, Chipotle

Bloom Magazine- We deliver their magazines for them on a Friday morning. They contact us on a Thursday, and we have to provide 10 people the next morning.

Baby-sitting- Tulip Tree Apartments give $10 an hour. We could go in pairs and make some money for the club! Also look into watching kids for adult 4-H leaders while they have their meetings every few months

Concessions or parking at basketball games

This Spring: A carwash, Study-A-Thon, Sidewalk Chalk Show, collaborating with Junior Leaders (cleaning up after sports events and we get a share of the profits), other campus events that the SAO can sponsor

Next Year: A 4-H day involving some IU sporting event (maybe Women’s Basketball?) and showing teenagers around the campus

We also discussed some grants that the club can apply for. In particular, the Service Grant worth $5,000 and the Heart and Hands awards ($500 to organization if someone wins)

We decided to go through Jeff Holland, 4-H Development Coordinator in Monroe County, to get a bank account. Lindie said she would get in touch with Jeff about this, and let us know when we can start collecting dues.

We also decided that it may be worthwhile to appeal to Monroe County for some kind of charitable donation since we are doing so much for their clubs this semester.

See everyone at Chocolate Fest!!!

Ellen Weinzapfel, IU Collegiate 4-H Vice President

January 23, 2007: 4-H Committee Meeting

4-H Youth Development, Social, and Relay for Life Committee Meetings

The meeting started at 8:15 PM in the Education Building, room 1004. In attendance were Ellen Weinzapfel, Kara Thompson, Jacob Taulman, Katie Graham, Livy Wilz, Alicia Jennings, Heather Oklak, Sam Snyder, Sabrina Slack, Jennifer Collins, and Jessica Falkenthal.

4-H Youth Development Committee Meeting Minutes:

Find Out Night- Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 6-8pm. Discussed activities to do with kids- a scavenger hunt in which kids go to each booth to find answers to questions about local 4-H clubs. Give a prize to child with most answers. Sam and Sabrina volunteered to make up questions. Renee volunteered to make a display. We decided that next year we should take up some kind of donation for Monroe County 4-H.

Officer Training- Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 6:30-8:30 pm. Fairgrounds booked, food will be prepared and served by 4-H Board of Directors. Registration forms are due to the 4-H office by February 14- Sam, Ellen, and Alicia volunteered to get the forms and organizing them for the event. We need to focus on Parli Pro. If need be, we can develop handouts for scrapbook and devotions leaders too.

Training for Officer Training- February 10, 1-3PM in Wilkie. Ellen will schedule room and let everyone know where this will be.

Orange County Officer Training- We agreed that the week in April after Easter (8-13) would work best. Sometime in the evening. They will provide compensation for travel (gas money), but they wanted us to come the same weekend as our project workshops, which seems like too much for one weekend. We will discuss rearranging the date, and hopefully it will still work out.

Public Speaking Workshop- Saturday, March 3, 2007, 10am-12pm Monroe County Fairgrounds. Give good and bad demonstrations, ask kids to tell us what is wrong and what is right.

Monroe County Share the Fun Talent Show- Jeff needs two-three Judges for this event that know about theatre and musicals. The rest of us might go to watch anyway!

Project Workshop Day- Saturday, April 14, 2007. Need to schedule Fairgrounds. Jessica passed around a sign-up sheet for different projects everyone is interested in talking about.

4-H Poultry Club- Friday, February 23, 2007, 6PM. Asked us to do a chicken-themed craft table to occupy children at their dinner. They will supply us with rides and anything we need for activities.

Relay For Life Committee Meeting Minutes

Jennifer and Heather are attending a meeting on Wednesday, February 7 to get more ideas for fundraising. One idea Jennifer had was to sell products from the Body Shop- we would get 20% profits of what we sell, and at the end we could have some sort of product party to demonstrate how products work to potential buyers.

Social Committee Meeting Minutes

For February 24, 2007- Collaboration with Service Committee about Bowl for Kids Sake- weeklong event with Boys and Girls Club. Inquire at next visit with Boys and Girls club.

For Second Meeting, January 30, 2007, Kara will bring refreshments and plan icebreakers.

Turn February 10, 2007 Officer Training Meeting into a Social Event. We can meet for lunch beforehand at Wilkie. Time- TBA

The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:30 pm.

What Can Collegiate 4-H Do For Monroe County?

On Saturday, January 20, 2007, 7 of our IU Collegiate 4-H members attended the Monroe County 4-H Adult Leader Workshop. We facilitated a discussion on "What can Collegiate 4-H do for YOU?" and got some wonderful feedback. Here are my notes from the discussion. As you can see, not only did we gain volunteer opportunities, we also found out about some great fundraisers!

· Training youth leaders in clubs to take over and run meetings. Help them with an introduction to public speaking, parly pro, mixers, talking and engaging new club members, and working to involve everyone in club activites.

· 4-H websites: Attempt to have more resources online. Kids tend to be more internet savvy- perhaps we could sponsor a workshop to teach them how to design and run an efficient 4-H website.

· “Bringing the 4-H back into 4-H” Where did all of the good, old-fashioned fun go? Let’s focus less on the ribbons and prizes and more on working together and learning to have fun with projects.

· Having Collegiate 4-H members come speak at club meetings (we are completely willing to do so)

· Helping to set up and run livestock shows

· Work together with 4-H clubs on service projects. We have many ideas for service ideas, and can always use more people; we know many of the clubs have the same problem. Volunteering together is a great opportunity to integrate Collegiate 4-H into Monroe County 4-H!

· Mini 4-H Day Camp run by Collegiate 4-H (we think this is a great idea!!)

· Offer some technology training for 4-H clubs and officers in Power Point.

· Volunteer Opportunity with Junior Leaders- Operation Military Kids

· Volunteer Opportunity- Spaghetti Dinner (run a craft table for children)

· IU Bass Fishing Club coming to Sports Fishing 4-H Club to talk- I will look into that!!

Bloomington Moose Club- Funding Opportunity???

We will be discussing these opportunities at future meetings, but I would encourage everyone to pick out their favorite ideas and elaborate!

See you all soon,
Ellen Weinzapfel
Indiana University Collegiate 4-H Vice President

The conference shall
• provide leadership training to develop the resources within the Collegiate 4-H program.

• improve effectiveness of local clubs
• renew the organization’s commitment to serve 4-H youth and to provide community service at all levels

This year, the Southern Region is trying to bring Collegiate 4-H members from around the country one of the most memorable conferences ever! Louisiana State University and the Southern Region are hosting the conference in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on February 15-18, 2007. We believe the diverse culture and rich history of Baton Rouge and the state of Louisiana will provide an excellent setting for the 2007 National Collegiate 4-H Conference with the theme

of “Rally in the Red Stick”. This four day conference will include leadership workshops, keynote speakers, national and regionalbusiness meetings, a national community service project, tours of local museums and attractions, an awards banquet, and a dance.

During the annual National Conference, delegates participate in many leadership activities including educational workshops and listening to nationally known speakers. The delegates from across the country then take the ideas they have learned during the conference back to

their respective states and schools where they use this information to teach younger youth leadership concepts to help them excel. Delegates also learn from these workshops and utilize the information to create in themselves a better role model for the youth of today while also enriching their own lives and growing personally.

Sabrina and Jessica are already registered! Join us!
