Upton 4-H Cares About Community!

2008-11-04T14:19:00.018-05:00

Our Club is participating in the
Massachusetts 4-H Food Drive

“4-H Cares About Community”

As part of this statewide service project, the Upton 4-H Club has collected and donated 110 pounds of food for the Upton Food Pantry, located at United Parish. Gabby, Tori, Gabriella and Noah helped deliver and sort through donations this morning, and then helped the staff stock the shelves. Helping at the food pantry was a really great experience and we will continue to collect and donate items even after the statewide drive is over. Food Pantry staff told us that they are seeing a big increase in people who are requesting the assistance of the pantry in the past few weeks.

Our help is appreciated!
Thanks to all who have donated so far!
We have collection boxes located at the Upton Town Library and at Fin & Feather Sports in Upton.

*UPDATE: the Statewide Food Drive officially ended on Nov 15. Our grand total of donations to the Upton Food Pantry was 175 pounds of food! Food pantry staff are currently working on a "Wish List" of high-demand items for us: On Dec 19 our Club will be having a Holiday Party. Instead of exchanging gifts, we will bring items from this wish list and decorate a box to put them all in, to deliver to the food pantry!*

Outdoor Adventures Program off to a Great Start!

After a fantastic Fishing Derby 2 weeks ago, the Upton 4-H Club's New Outdoor Adventures Program had its first official meeting this afternoon, with close to 30 people in attendance! Jeff LeClaire taught us all about Archery, including Safety Rules, parts of a bow & arrow, different types of bows & arrows, the role a Range Captain plays and the importance of following the commands. Then we headed out into the cold and practiced on the range. It was really fun! (and not as easy as it looks!!) Future meeting dates are in the works, with lots of great plans and ideas! It was really great to see so many Dads in attendance at this meeting, too, and their willingness to get involved.

CCC Day at Upton State Forest

2008-10-12T14:12:00.003-04:00

Thank you to the Giglio, Millett and Stratton families for representing the UPTON 4-H CLUB at CCC-Day yesterday, at The Upton State Forest! Thanks, also, to the Suazo, Killeen and LeClaire families, who donated supplies for the day, even though they were unable to attend! It was such a beautiful Autumn day ~ I am so glad that we participated in this historic event, sponsored by the Friends of the Upton State Forest, honoring the alumni who served at the CCC Camp during the 1930s!

Our Club members spent the day providing info about 4-H, and sharing Nature Crafts ... leaf rubbings, rock painting, and pinecone birdfeeders ... with families who visited our booth.

Senator Ed Augustus stopped by to say hello, and posed for this picture!
(We also wanted a picture with Smokey Bear , but he left early ... maybe off to fight a fire somewhere?!)

We saw 3 live falcons,

and attended the flagpole dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony of the newly-named CCC Way (the main trail heading into the State Forest parking lot).

We also had fun with Letterboxing, and found the first 2 boxes in the new series of 5 boxes placed in honor of the day. We're planning to go back, possibly next weekend after the Fishing Derby, to scout out the other 3!
