Announcements

New website

The new club website is up at http://www.cicoshamrocks.org. More information will be added over time but it will serve as a place members and families can go for club information.  It will include information about officers, project and club leaders, meetings, and club sign-ups. The news section will be updated continually between meetings with announcements from the county and other club information.  We’ll continue to email a monthly summary of important news and announcements before each club meeting.

Project talk and host families sign up

If you have’t already, please sign up for a turn as host family and to give project talks. Project talks are great ways for 4-Hers to gain experience talking in front of groups and its a requirement for many of the pins and awards. There are many slots available but we especially need people for May, June, July, August and September. If you have any questions about what it means to be host family or need help with a project talk talk to an officer or leader. The sign up is here and is always available under the “Documents” section of the website at www.cicoshamrocks.org.

Gavel Games sign up

Members who signed up at the December meeting do not need to sign up again. Gavel games is an event that allows 4-H members to demonstrate parliamentary procedure during a mock meeting.  The event will be held on February 23, 2019 in conjunction with the 4-H Showcase event.
