Dear 4-H
members, leaders and parents,
We have
some exciting information to share with you! We are in the process of
starting two new 4-H Clubs in our county, one at the Pt. Hueneme Navy SeaBee Base, and the other at Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station! We are thrilled to have the
opportunity to bring 4-H programming to the children of our military families
stationed at these two bases. Starting 4-H Clubs at military bases is
actually a joint operation with the military and National 4-H. Army,
Navy, and Air Forces bases in the
As we start
the two clubs at our local bases, we will be asking for your help in
introducing the military youth to our 4-H Program. For instance, on
Friday, May 15th, from 6-9 p.m., the staff at Pt. Mugu children’s center and 4-H Office staff will be
conducting a 4-H Open House to show the families on the base what 4-H is all
about. We will have several hands-on activities, in what we call a
“Skill-a-thon” format. If you would like to help us with this
by leading an activity at one of the skill-a-thon tables, please let me
know. If you would like to do a demonstration, or show kids how to start
a record book, contact me as soon as possible. If you would like to
answer questions about 4-H (at an information table), give me a call!
There are lots of ways that you can participate!
If you
cannot help on May 15th, there will be other opportunities to help
these two groups as they start their 4-H Clubs. Many of the families on
the bases will not be directly involved in the 4-H Program, but could also
benefit from our program. Remember them as you plan your community service
projects throughout the year.
If you have
any questions or would like to help on May 15th, please contact me
at the number below.
Thanks!
