Shooting Sports - Save the Dates!
A once in a blue moon event is about to take place in California, a National 4-H Shooting Sports Workshop. This event will be held September 29 – October 3, 2015 at Camp San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo County). For those counties that want to strengthen their shooting sports programs or counties that want to start one, this is the event you need to attend. It is open to staff and volunteer leaders who are at least 21 years of age. This training allows the participants to become certified in one of six different disciplines: archery, hunting, muzzle loading, pistol, rifle, or shotgun. A coordinator course will also be offered for those who want to learn more about administering a county program.
Please note, this is not for leaders who are interested in running a project or summer camp program. This is for leaders who want to become instructors to strengthen the county and state programs. Successful completion of this course allows these participants to hold certification workshops.
The projected cost for this event will be about $200 per person. This fee includes all course material and meals and housing for the duration of the course! The course will end on the evening of October 2nd and participants can spend the night and depart on the morning of the 3rd after breakfast.
Additional information will follow. If you have leaders who are interested, be sure they sign up for email updates by entering their names and email addresses at: http://ucanr.edu/maillists/joinlist.cfm?listnum=1926
They can also get updates by “liking” the California 4-H Shooting Sports Facebook page at:

We have a family looking to find homes for their cavies. They will be traveling for 8 weeks this summer and are also looking at a long term leave of the country.

Contact Judy in the office to see photos of "the girls" (we took them to the vet twice to confirm that they are all girls). Shooting Star is an American Guiana Pig. Excalibur is an Abyssinian. Oreo came from Excalibur about 60 days after we got them, much to our surprise since they were only 6-7 weeks old when we got them and both are girls. Oreo is a year old and the other two are a few months older.
I am looking for a 4-h member who would like to earn some extra money taking care of my 12 beautiful hens. I am in Healdsburg, off Chiquita Rd. We travel quite a bit and am in need of one or two members who are available when we are away. This summer we have a few short trips planned, (4-7 days), then in the fall possibly longer trips. The member would need to be able to come up every early evening and spend about 20 minutes cleaning the hen house, making sure their feeder and waterer are full, collecting the eggs, and getting them back in to the coop, (this is easy to do, as I call them and throw them their scratch and they come running.) My daughter will be letting them out of the coop every morning, as they free range all day. Pay is negotiable. Debra Shelton 707 2062100 [debralearns@gmail.com
