CAL Conference…We are in need of a female chaperone(or two) if our youth are going to the conference this year.If we can take all of the youth on the waiting list, we will need two. Please contact Judy right away and I will provide you with the application. The CCC covers the conference cost for chaperones.
From the Chickenque Committee, SEE ATTACHED FLYERS FOR T-SHIRT INFO and FAIR APPRECIATION DATE
We would like to welcome Ryan Petersen and Fred Frey to our awesome committee. They will be shadowing Matt this year as he transitions out of being our CQ Chair. They are two incredible volunteers, with great ideas and new energy.
As we begin planning for the May 3rd event, expect little changes. Our focus this year will be on creating more of an 4-H Open House with a chicken BBQ. We will be promoting and inviting the public in a variety of ways. If you have any great connections or ideas, please feel free to share them with us.
Our first Chickenque Rep. meeting will be January 22, 7pm at the 4-H Center. The rep meetings will continue to be on the 4th Thurs. of the month, through April.
Mark your calendars, Fair Appreciation Day will be March 1, 2015. We will have the volunteer sign up available soon. This day is set aside to say Thank You to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds for allowing us to use the fairgrounds, for free, during the Chickenque. This is a very generous gift.
If you have any suggestions or want to join us on the committee, please contact us. We welcome all new ideas and committee members.
Thank you!
