GROWS TEAMWORK

As fall comes around we are reminded of our 4-H roots. It is

a time for a new beginning. With 4-H enrollment starting

again we are saying goodbye to our graduating members

and saying hello to our new 4-H and Clover Kids members. It

is a great time to try new things, and to step out of our

comfort zone.

It is also a time to wrap up our 4-H projects throughout the

year by working on Record Books. They are a fantastic

chance to see how you have grown throughout the year. So

please take the time to work on a Record Book and

showcase all of your hard work throughout the year!!

Sincerely,

Come get your new 4-H shirt!

Our new design is in. The cost is

$10 per shirt. We have sizes

from youth small to adult 3XL.

Save the Date!

The dates for the 2019 Central Iowa Fair are July 10-14!

Mark it on your calendars now!

Record Books:

I can not express how important

Record Books are. Not only for

culminating the end of your project

but it also helps with recording and

keeping track of your leadership

and volunteer information. SO

PLEASE encourage your kids to

complete them.

Club Record Book Challenge

New this year! To help encourage participation in

completing record books, we will

be having a club challenge. The

club who shows the most growth

in turning record books in will

receive a pizza or ice cream party,

sponsored by the Marshall County

4-H Foundation. So get working on those record books!!

Winner will be announced at Year End Celebration.

4-H Enrollment:

4-H enrollment will open on September 1st. Enrollment fees

for this year will be $20.00 from September 1st – November

15th. In order to get the discounted rate you must be

enrolled and PAID by November 15th. After November

15th the fee will raise to $30.00. If you have any questions

please do not hesitate to reach out to your club leader or the

extension office.

Poultry Place:

The Marshalltown Kiwanis PM Club Is looking for a few(4-5)

of the older 4-H members to help them move stuff for the

yearly yards sale at the fair grounds. They had to cancel last

springs yard sale and move it to September. This would be

a great community project for your record books.

They will need help on Sunday, September 16th around 9

a.m.... Lunch will be provided and the Kiwanis will make a

donation (or pay you for your time). The take down date will

be Saturday September 22nd at noon. Please let Renee

Anagnos know if you will be able to help either of these

days. All of this will take place at the Central Iowa

fairgrounds.

The Poultry Project Group will be holding a tip night Culver's

on Tuesday, October 9th at 5:00. They are looking for 3-4

volunteers that would be able to help. All of the money that

is raised will go into the poultry group funds, for continued

improvements in the poultry area at

the fairgrounds.

If you would like to purchase one fo

the poultry projects shirts that they

had last year please contact Renee

Anagnos. If they have enough

interest they will be placing another

round of shirts in the spring.

Renee Anagnos

Poultry Superintendent

Chick Incubation:

If you or someone you know is interested in hatching chicks

to show at the fair but do not have an incubator, please

contact Chelsea at the Extension office! We have one

incubator that we will loan out to 4-H members who would

like to have a hatching project. It is first come first serve so

please let Chelsea know if you would like to borrow it.

Chelsea’s email is chelsea@iastate.edu.

New 4th Grade members:

If you were a previous clover kid member please remember

that you must switch the club that they are in. Once they

enter 4th grade they are no longer Clover Kids, for Example,

if they were in Haverhill Hustlers Clover Kids you need to

change them to Haverhill Hustlers 4-H Club.

If they are a new enrollment make sure they select the 4-H

club and not the clover kid group.
