Hello 4H Clubs of Sonoma County!
The annual 4H Foundation BBQ and fundraiser is set for August 27, 3:00 to 8:00 pm at Richard's Grove and Saralee's Vineyard on Slusser Road in Windsor. We are working hard to plan and organize for this event to make it our best one yet! As some of you may know, this event is successful because of so many of our incredible volunteers who mean so much to us! This very much includes our 4H youth!
This year for table and food service, we are looking to have 75-85 youth volunteers between the ages of 5 and 18. Server volunteers will need to arrive at 4:00 pm. Server orientation for full service tables will start at 4:30 and service will go from 5:00-9:00 pm.
We also would like eight adult volunteers (parents, project or club leaders) who can help oversee the youth food servers. We would like to break the adult shifts up into two different times, 4:00-6:30 and 6:00-8:30. For each shift we will need 2 adults helping at the food preparation table and two overseeing the tables being served. The youth will be provided with a pizza dinner and the adults a complimentary BBQ dinner.
If a particular project group would like to display a booth, please let me know! We would need you to arrive to set up your display by 2:45 and the display time would go until 5:00.
We kindly ask that all 4H youth volunteers wear their whites to volunteer. It looks great and it represents your club nicely. This is a wonderful and fun community service opportunity for 4H youth to include in their record books!
Please send an email with the name, age, contact information, and area of interest to volunteer tofaith@4hfoundationofsoco.org
Thank you!

I have 2 doe boars approximately 4 years old which I would like to give to a 4-H member for breeding. They are in excellent health, come when called and need to be inseparable. Originally paid $400.00 for each, but I will give them to a deserving 4-H member. Please contact if interested. 707 604 1011 or Paulstenger63@yahoo.com

To whom it may concern
Hello. I am Karina Climaco, Activity Director at Primrose here in Santa Rosa. I am contacting the 4-H clubs because our facility is planning an event for our residents. It is our Annual County Fair in which we invite our resident's family members to participate in this event. The purpose is to bring our residents and their families together and share this special county fair-like moment with their family, especially their grandchildren.
Place: Primrose 2080 Guerneville rd. 95403
Front Lawn
Date: July 7th 2016
Time: 10am -1pm
We will provide food for our residents and 4-H staff. We will also have music, baking contest and games for the children.
We would like the 4-H club to bring in some of their animals for about 1 hour to 1 ½ . We haven't decided on a date. That would depend on your availability. But thinking mid July.
If you decide to work with us please let us know how much you charge, what date would be perfect for you and what kind of animals you would be willing to bring. We have no problems with you bringing chickens or rabbits, the small animals.
Thank you for your time. Hope to hear from you soon.
