SONOMA COUNTY PRESENTATION DAY
FEBRUARY 6, 2016
8am - 1:30pm
4-H CENTER
6445 Commerce Blvd.
Rohnert Park, Ca. 94928
Have you ever heard of 4-H? Well if you haven't, 4-H is a national organization that has many
separate clubs within many different counties. 4-H does many things including teaching kids
life skills and community service. Inside each club, there are many different projects. From
learning about animals like chickens, pigs, goats, etc..., to learning about how to garden, baking,
arts and crafts, rocketry, etc... One of many projects is presentation skills or also called public
speaking. This is where kids put together a presentation about anything they want to talk
about. It can be on one of their projects they are in or even something they do outside of 4-H.
There are many kinds of presentations. For instance, demonstrations, illustrated talks,
interpreted reading, power points, and many more. Then they learn how to present their
presentations in a room full of people, with evaluators, at county presentation day. This skill
can help them in life with either school work or a job. So come on down to the 4-H Center in
Rohnert Park, 6445 Commerce Blvd behind 24 Hour fitness. It's going to be a fantastic event.
Come and learn about 4-H!
