FROM LONDESBORO March busy time in 4-H
Happy Gang hosts euchre tournament
The month of March is an
exciting time for the Ontario
4-H program, with the
planning and organizing of
new clubs, holding provincial
leadership camp and
providing volunteer training
sessions.
Since the 4-H program
started in Waterloo County in
1915, thousands of young
people have developed new
skills, participated in exciting
opportunities, made new
friends and had fun.
Last year, over 7,000 young
people were involved in
almost 1,200 clubs and
completed over 12,000
projects.
The 4-H clubs that are set to
start over the next few weeks
will involve six or more
members between the 10 to 21
years of age, from both the
country and the city. Based
on the interests of the
volunteer leader and
members, the club can select
from over 65 different types
of , projects, ranging from
photography to woodworking,
from life skills to livestock,
and from square dancing to
conservation.
