National 4-H Week is October 5-11, 2008 and the theme is Keeping it Green!

This will tie-in perfectly with our club volunteering at the CCC Day Event at the Upton State Forest on October 11th! We will provide info about 4-H, and set-up some nature craft activities for families to make-and-take, including pinecone birdfeeders, leaf rubbings, and more!
