Katie Trockey, Conejo Valley  4-H president has submitted the following “Featured Club Happenings” article.

Conejo Valley 4-H currently has 20 members enrolled in the program. With the coming of the Ventura County Fair, many projects are working hard on activities including our most popular projects: Rabbits, Poultry, Cake Decorating, Foods and Nutrition, Dog Therapy, Cavies, and Urban Birding.

Our 4-H’ers have participated in a number of community service opportunities. In October, we contributed to the TOTSOCE program, donating twenty bags to Food Share. We also partook in Project Linus, where our club made ten No-Sew Fleece Blankets that were given to children affected by disasters.

With demonstration speeches upcoming, our recent February meeting not only included the making of many holiday and get well soon cards sent to the Senior Concerns day care center, but also the members were able to do a Demo-in-a-Bag. Two or three members would take a bag enclosed with supplies to do an impromptu mini demonstration with a project the members do not participate in. For the new members who have never done a demonstration speech, the older members helped them to complete their first speech in front of the club
