Club News - December 2020

 Homesteaders, I meant to send this a couple days ago--I apologize.

The Kremmling Tree Lighting will just be a tree lighting due to COVID.  They are advising people to stay in their cars to watch the tree lighting.  No refreshments will be served so we are not needed to make cookies.  If you have already done so, then PLEASE enjoy the cookies yourselves or give to a neighbor!  

If you have not already re-enrolled for 4-H, please do so before the end of December to get the cheapest rate (and to get any needed literature soon so you can work on it this winter). Let me know if you have questions.

Have a joyous Christmas season and may you have friends and family to spend quality time with.

Recap of November 2020 Meeting

 by Marcy Wheatley

Meeting Date: November 12, 2020

Old Business

Mountain Family Center - club voted to donate $100 for East Troublesome Fire victims

Tree Lightings

Granby is on Dec 4th - haven’t heard of anything we can do 

Kremmling is on Dec 5th - please make 2-3 dozen cookies 

• Make arrangements to have the cookies at the Kremmling Visitor Center (on Town Square) by 3 PM

• Best to use a disposable container that you don’t want back

New Business 

Tubing 

Club voted to go tubing the beginning of 2021 and have club pay (we weren’t able to go in 2020)

We will be on the lookout for good snow on hill and when county health allows us

4-H Online Enrollment is open - 

• The sooner you enroll, the sooner you will get your project literature and the sooner we can figure out what is required to complete your project, i.e. manual with activities to complete, determine if you need to make a project board for fair or have some other physical project, etc.

• I will have a couple sessions of record book help this spring--either at a meeting or arrange to have at another time during the month.

Project Completion Checklist

• Attend 6 Meetings – these should be mostly club meetings, but 4-H Council meetings

may also count if your leader allows

• Do a demonstration – this will most likely be in front of your club, but could potentially

be to a larger group

• Do community service with club or 4-H Council (or both!)

• Exhibit your project – this will most likely be at fair, but other arrangements may count,

including Expo (ask us for more information!)

• Complete your Record Book – you must complete your record book and score at least a 70%

Community Service

• Operation Christmas Child - the club voted to participate again this year.  

• I suggest Petefishes, Krempins, and Harms get together one day to shop in Granby for 4 kids, and Kenna, Ben, Audrey and Wutzes get together one day in Kremmling to shop for the other 2 kids.

• Budget is $20-23 per child/shoebox.

• I will send out recommendations of what to purchase for the shoeboxes and what not to buy.  

• If anyone has shoeboxes to use, please bring those for shopping as it is easier for the kids to figure out what will fit.  If there aren’t enough shoeboxes, then a plastic bin can be purchased at the Dollar Store that is same size as a shoebox.

• Shopping should be completed before meeting--achievement awards potluck on Nov.13th

• Please bring filled shoeboxes November 13th so they can be taken to a drop off location the next week.

• Susan Wall--can Tim take the shoeboxes to Dillon Community Church again sometime from November 16-23?

• Donations - the club voted to donate $100 to West Grand Wishes, $100 to Joyful Givers, and $200 to Middle Park 4-H Council.

• Community Tree Lightings

• Granby’s is Dec 4th - Tish will check what their restrictions will be and how we can participate.  If we have to individually wrap cookies, then we will bow out.

• Kremmling - Chamber would like us to provide cookies again.

• Brandy Heitzenrater can make cookies for us at cost.  She will get back to me on what “cost” is.

• Families will also make cookies themselves to provide for Kremmling.

Club Achievement Night/Club Meeting/Potluck - November 13th

Council is paying each club $5/member for that club’s achievement awards celebration.  We will have ours in conjunction with our next 4-H meeting on November 13th. Awards for our club will be picked up at the extension office to be handed out.

It was suggested that we have the meeting at 5 PM.  Then we can eat at 6 PM and have awards.  Dads are encouraged to come.  

Location will be at 6761 County Road 22 -- at our ranch in a barn.  Please dress for the weather.  We will be protected from wind and hope to have a burn pit or two in the barn.  There is electricity in the barn for crockpots, etc.  More info will follow as we get closer.
