CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER!
NOT JULY!
The Arapahoe County 4-H Foundation is preparing for the annual Holiday Evergreen sale.
The 4-H Foundation’s annual budget is $36,900.00. In order to meet this budget, it depends upon the Holiday Evergreen sale, donations from Friends of 4-H and other gifts.
Four college scholarships in the amount of $4,000 are given each year. The 4-H Foundation also sponsors the leader/member awards, Tools of the Project for county fair champions and reserve champions, outreach programs and the meal for the Achievement Awards program. It supports training for 4-H members and leaders and picks up contest fees at State 4-H Conference and State Fair and helps promote 4-H.
In order to provide funding for these activities, it relies heavily on the Holiday Evergreen sale and is asking for the support of 4-H clubs and families. The Foundation also reaches out to the public to sell holiday evergreens.
Sale materials will go out to 4-H Club leaders the last week of September. The deadline for orders this year has been extended to Friday, October 29. 4-H Clubs are also asked to send the name of their wreath sale chairperson to Kathy McDaniel, 303-919-2177 or Larrykathy4@aol.com.
We are asking that all 4-H leaders and members help with this fund raiser.
