Happy Holidays!

I'm a little behind in my posting, but we've had several very fun meetings in the last couple of months. The club is off to a great start!

Butterfly Festival at FLMNH this weekend

The Butterfly Festival is this weekend at the Florida Museum of Natural History. It looks like a lot of fun and would provide some great learning activities and discussion points for our kids.

Registration forms

If you haven't done so already, please turn in your registrations forms to Ms. Emily! We need to get these turned in to the 4-H office as soon as possible. If you need another copy, please contact Emily.

Next meeting - Oct. 9 for the 8 and up kids

Billy Crow, one of our dads and a UF nematology professor, will be teaching an advanced vermiculture session on Oct. 9 at the Eubanks house. Oct. 16 will be our meeting for everyone. He'll be teaching again, but the older kids will get to help this time.

Vermiculture, or growing worms, will help us with out gardening and plant unit this fall. Get ready for some squiggly, wiggly worms!

September 4-H Meeting

Our first meeting of the year was a blast! I was impressed with the turnout and how attentive the kids were. Thanks to Tom Wichman for being our guest speaker this time and teaching about container gardens.
