2011-03-25T09:24:00.002-04:00

Hey club memebers,

Our next meeting will be Thursday, April 7th at 6:30pm.

We will still be at First Assembly of God, but instead of the Fellowship Hall -- we will meet in the Library. Come in the entrance with the flag poles, turn left, go upstairs and you will see it at the top of the stairs. If you need to use the elevator, let me know and I will give you directions from there.

Be ready for some exciting changes to our club meeting format. Our club president and our officers are working hard to make it more hands-on and educational. You won't want to miss it!

The Calendar of Club meetings is posted on this site, a little further down the page from this post. So mark your family calendar with our dates. We will see you in April.

Registration Deadline Approaches!

Club Members and Friends,
Please come to our next meeting on Tuesday, February 1st at 6:30pm. We will have additional registration forms that night because it is the deadline to register for 4-H in Tippecanoe County. If you look over to the right side bar of this site, you will find registration forms and the entire handbook in .pdf format to print out. Invite your friends, even those who do not live in Tippecanoe County! The only reservation about non-resident members is that they cannot be judged for the same project in more than one county. We have scheduled our meetings every 3 weeks alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are hoping this many meetings will allow our members the flexibility to attend more meetings. Remember, you need to attend a minimum of 3 meetings OR workshops in order to be considered for the grand champion level at fair time.

Community Service Challenge

2009-06-29T13:02:00.006-04:00

Once again we are excited to challenge every 4-H club to collect food items for those in need in our area. This year we are donating to St. John’ Food Pantry.

We are also collecting pet food for a no-kill rescue shelter in Tippecanoe County, North Central Indiana Spay and Neuter at Crystal Creek Kennels.

We will also be collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.

Summertime is a crucial time for these organizations to receive donations and they need our help. As 4-H’ers, we are here to serve and help meet the needs of those in our community. The reward of meeting peoples’ needs is in the time and energy sacrificed to make a difference; it stands by itself. But, to offer some incentive, the 4-H clubs who collect the most amount of food (measured by weight per club member) will receive pizza gift certificates.

We will collect all food items at the Junior Leader Meeting on July 9th at 7:00 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall.. So, take the 4-H Club Challenge and help those in need!

We are now accepting computer generated drawings! All county 4-H’ers are encouraged to submit a drawing that fits on a legal-size sheet of white paper, 8 1/2” x 14”, drawings need to use a black felt-tip pen. The printed material should include “2010 Tippecanoe County 4-H Handbook” with a small signature somewhere on the drawing. The rest of the design is left up to the member. Mount the picture on a piece of stiff cardboard and on the back include your name, address, 4-H club, and age. These are to be turned in to the 4-H Office on the fairgrounds by Friday, July 24th.

Our Part in Operation Teddy Bear

2008-03-17T22:13:00.004-04:00

Calling All Hands!

Faith is asking for her 4-H Club's participation in her Operation Teddy Bear Project. At our next meeting she will provide each of us with cards to write a note to a soldier serving in Iraq. Let's join with her in support of our troops by sending hand-written cards along with the donated bears in her next shipment!

Operation Teddy Bear Earns Recognition

2008-03-17T21:48:00.011-04:00

This article is from the Journal & Courier:

Tippecanoe County Girl Recognized for Sending Teddy Bears to Troops
A Tippecanoe County girl received an award for an extra large care package being sent to soldiers in Iraq. Mayflower Mill Elementary 4th grader Faith Killian-Fassnacht was presented with a coin from the Commanding General, which is awarded for excellence. Killian-Fassnacht is being recognized for collecting and sending 700 teddy bears to soldiers in Iraq.
Starting in August, Killian-Fassnacht asked community members to donate new and gently used teddy bears. She said she was surprised by how many bears she was able to collect. The teddy bears are being shipped to soldiers in Iraq. Some will also go to Iraqi civilians. Killian-Fassnacht said she came up with the idea to collect teddy bears one day when she was looking at her own teddy bear collection.
"When I looked at them, it made me think that maybe the soldiers would be happy to get these and it would let them know that we're still thinking about them," Killian-Fassnacht said.
"Well basically when we heard about this project, I wanted to submit a request for an award. On the civilian side, there's very few rewards we can give, for the military to the civilian. Major General Pollmann recognized this with a 2 Star General Coin, which is an extremely rare reward," Staff Sergeant Justin Broadwater said.
Killian-Fassnacht wants to continue collecting teddy bears and plans to send another batch to the soldiers around Easter time.
