4-H Wreath Sale - Club Order Totals Due: Friday, November 1
Attention all 4-H Members, Parents, Leaders, and Association Members - The annual 4-H Wreath Sale is underway. All Somerset County 4-H Members, 4-H Leaders, and 4-H Association Members are asked to take orders for 4-H Wreaths. Selling 4-H wreaths helps pay for the costs of operating the 4-H Center and helps keep the 4-H Fair free for the public, so participation is strongly recommended.
Can your club sell more than 200 wreaths? Will anyone outsell our top sellers from last year? Will Trainmasters, Woof, and Branchburg Beef, Dairy, and Livestock hold their titles of top selling clubs?
Sell wreaths and find out!
Leaders MUST EMAIL club total orders to sc4Hwreaths@gmail.com by November 1st.
For more info, please see the Wreath Sale packet here:

Cereal and Milk Drive: Now through November 22
The National 4-H Shooting Sports is hosting a Nationwide Cereal Drive. On Target Archery, as part of the 4-H Shooting Sports, is expanding the drive to include shelf stable milks along with cereal, since often food banks receive lots of cereal, but no milk. The cereal and milk will be going to the Food Bank Network of Somerset County - https://www.somersetfoodbank.org/
Our goal is to collect 100 boxes of cereal and 50 shelf stable milks. There will be a box in the 4-H Center lobby from now until November 22, 2024 to collect donations.
Thank you for helping us help the community!
