4-H Council Meeting Report
Council Fundraiser: Pasta fundraiser ends May 3rd.
[Fun Pasta. This is completely optional, and can be used to PARTIALLY satisfy your trip assistance fundraising requirements. If you sell $50 worth of pasta, it can be used in place of one hour of concession stand work (the same as selling five truck raffle tickets). There are some really cool options (including clovers!), which you can see at https://www.funpastafundraising.com/products.
Brochures and order forms are in extension office, but this can be done online as well. To order online visit the link above, then click "Support Your Group", then search for Middle Park 4-H Council. Please let me know if you have questions about this.
