Community
Service Leader’s Message
Hello
Jamul Chaparros!
It
was good to see everyone at our February meeting.
I hope you enjoyed viewing Catie Corle’s presentation of her 4-H
foreign exchange adventure in Costa Rica. There
is so much 4-H has to offer and I hope our club members will take advantage of
every opportunity!
A
special thanks to those of you who purchased 4-H calendars and club
T-shirts!
I still have 9 calendars to sell, so if you haven’t gotten one and
would like one, please let me know. I
have to turn in our extras to the county office at the end of this month, and
they would really like it if I didn’t turn in any extras.
We still have club T-shirts too, I will bring them to the May meeting.
If you would like one before then, please contact me to arrange to get
one.
I
am currently scheduled to have some surgery at the end of this month.
If everything goes as scheduled I will not be at the unit meeting in
March. Please give your full support
and cooperation to your board members and project leaders in my absence.
Nancy Grigsby and Jennifer Krempp will be picking up more copies of the
Eastern San Diego County Jr. Fair entry books and forms.
They will have them at the March unit meeting.
This year the ESDCJF starts a week later than normal, so we will have
our fair entry forms turn-in at our April unit meeting. We
will not have a special fair entry form turn-in meeting the last Tuesday of
March as was originally scheduled at the beginning of our 4-H year.
Thank
you!
Mary

Area 5 Presentation Day
Congrats to everyone who participated in our
Presentation Day! You’re all
winners and eligible to go to the County Presentation Day, which I have been
told will be held at the same time and place as Home Arts and Design Day in
March. So please finish polishing up
your presentations and really “WOW!” the judges in March!
I’m so proud of all of our presenters!
It’s not easy to get up in front of judges and your peers.
Surveys have shown that public speaking is the #1 fear of most people.
The ability to do this will help you throughout life, and the ability to
do it well will help you to shine in both the classroom, and in your future
careers!

Demonstration – Sr. Division – Chelsea Smith
Illustrated Talk – Sr. Division – Jannettie

2011 Calendars are still
available - $10 each. This is the SD 4-H
County Council’s big fundraiser of the year.
They have asked our club to sell 30 calendars.
We have 27 families in the club, so if each family could purchase just
one, we will meet the quota that they have set for us.
The calendars are really nice, they are full of pictures of SD County 4-H
kids, the pictures were taken by your fellow 4-H’ers and they already contain
many of the important dates to remember this year.
Please call Mary Bradley if you’d like to buy one.
Thank you!!!
Eastern San Diego County
Jr. Fair in Lakeside
We are still collecting items
for both the February ESDCJF drawing on February 28th and for the BBQ
& Auction on March 20th. At the upcoming ESDCJF general meeting, our club is
responsible for the drawing prizes. All donations are tax deductible.
So, if you have something you would like to donate to either event,
please contact Mary.
The pre-sale tickets for the
BBQ are $8/each and Mary has them if you would like to buy them.
Tickets will also be available the day of the BBQ.
Pre-sales help the fair board to determine how many meals they will need
to prepare. Don’t forget we will
also be manning the bake sale booth. Please sign up to help with this at the
March unit meeting. If you are
signed up in the Community Service project group, please be sure to help with
this bake sale. I hope those of you who are gifted with the talent of baking
will bring baked goods in support of our booth.
Last year the BBQ lunch was
great and the auction was a lot of fun too!
Please give the ESDCJF your support!

Super Saturday. This
event is held at the Vista Antique Tractor Museum.
It is a great county wide event. You’ll
get to meet kids from other 4-H groups in the county and see what they do in
some of their project groups. We
chose to have a yummy craft booth where kids will get to do a hands-on project
creating Chocolate Kiss Mice. There
will be lots of hands-on type projects to do at Super Saturday, so I hope
you’ll make some time to go to and to support our club’s booth this year.
Please contact Haley Grigsby. We
still need a chairperson and helpers!!!
