\u00a0“4-H is about building better citizens, teaching values and developing the skills necessary to leading a good and profitable life. And it doesn’t matter if you’re from a farm environment or from a big city. 4-H worked for me and I’ve continued to work for it.”<\/p>\n

Club News<\/h3>\n

There are 9 Active Clubs in York County.<\/p>\n

Beachcombers- Leader Jackie Lipsky<\/h4>\n

Beachcombers is a club that focuses on all things along the coast. We pick up the beach, learn about all things along the beach and nature journal. When possible, we learn from people who work along the coast.<\/p>\n

Our club meets mostly in the warmer months. There have been some impromptu beach-combing adventures over the winter, and we look forward to our regular scheduled beachside meetings to resume in April.<\/p>\n

Boots-N-Buckles – Leader Jody Harrison<\/h4>\n

Four Leaf Clover 4-H Club – Leaders Else Cook, Jennifer Azara<\/h4>\n

Our last meeting we had EMT’s from Shapleigh Fire department come and talk to the club about the AED, how it worked, and how to respond in an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our club is a general club, meaning each member choices their own projects and there isn’t one main focus for the club. Our club goals this year are to increase our club membership by reaching out to the local schools, spreading the word about 4H.<\/p>\n

Kidding Around – Leaders Debbi Cole, Nathan Cole<\/h4>\n

At our October meeting, we learned how to make goat milk soap.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
