There is still too much snow on the ground to pick up the wreaths, so this service project will not take place on Sunday, January 29. A new date will be announced as soon as it’s set.
If you have any questions, email our club’s contact for this event, Jenelle Kemper.
Due to the latest snow, January 22 is not going to work to pick up the wreaths. We’ll plan for Sunday, January 29 from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
If you have any questions, email our club’s contact for this event, Jenelle Kemper.
Due to the amount of snow still on the ground, the date to pick up the wreaths is being postponed. This community service will be rescheduled to an upcoming weekend, depending on the weather.
As soon as the new date is finalized, we will post and email it to club members.
If you have any questions, email our club’s contact for this event, Jenelle Kemper.

First, Cindy would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes, flowers, and cupcakes at the club meeting. It was very special and appreciated.
I would also like to welcome all the new families who attended the meeting last Monday. We look forward to your membership and participation.
Congratulations to all the 2021–2022 High Country Handiworkers who completed their projects. Our club members completed another successful year—a job WELL DONE!
For those who did not attend the November meeting, I will bring your completion certificates and projects to the club meeting one last time in December. If I have your fair project, it would be helpful if you would come by our business, Construction Supply House at 806 North 2nd Street in Berthoud, and pick it up prior to the December meeting. It is a lot to load and unload. If I still have projects following the December 5th meeting, those projects will be disposed of on December 10th. I simply don’t have the space to store projects.
Foods will meet on December 5th prior to the club meeting starting at 6:00 p.m.
Reminder, the December Club meeting has changed to December 5. We will be doing a club community service project, so it’s very important to attend. A community service project is required of every club member. Returning members: please sign up for a demonstration. We will also be holding officer elections.
The first Cloverbuds meeting of the new 4-H year will be this Monday, November 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the McKee Building. Note the new location—we have outgrown my shop building.
The Junior Leadership Club is organizing a food drive at this year’s Achievement Night. Bring non-perishable food items with you to the event on Friday, November 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall at the McKee Building.
We have been informed that Woodcraft will not be hosting Turning Pens for the Troops event this year due to scheduling issues. Our apologies for the late notice. We hope it will be back next year.
