A Look Inside Somis 4-H

Oct 16, 2009

The following Featured Club Happenings was written and submitted by two 10 year old Somis 4-H Club Members, Jorden Harber and Juliette Avalos.

Somis 4-H is a smaller club with only about 30 members; however, it has a lot to offer!

We started off the 4-H year with an ice cream social and by sharing the many awards that were earned at the Ventura County fair!

At our monthly club meetings, the 4-Hers share their experiences in community service, projects, and/or any awards they have earned.

This year, Somis 4-H is offering many animal projects such as Poultry, Lamb, and Swine.

Our club is proud to participate in many community service projects such as Rescue Mission, TOTSOCE, beach clean-ups, and we have our own graffiti task force. This year all of our fall service projects such as the toy and turkey drives will be donated to the Salvation Army.

Some other projects offered this year include cooking, CPR/first aid, coyote calling, hiking and arts and crafts. Some of us will learn to cook a full meal for the first time or test our courage by calling coyotes in the middle of the night.

Somis 4-H has a wonderful variety of projects for all ages and all interests!

Featured Club Happenings are regularly included in our Clover Lines 4-H Newsletter. Additional articles and newsletters can be found here.
