December Meeting Reminders
Don’t forget to sign up for the activities that you want to participate in for this year! Also, remember to bring supplies for our December meeting. We will need paper, markers, and other decorating materials.
Officer Appointments
As the new school year begins, the club must select new officers to lead us in our meetings and other events. We chose a president, a vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer. This year, we have an awesome new group of club officers. Good luck to all!
City of Fairfax Fall Festival Fundraiser
What a rainy day! But we persevered, offering goodies that we made to support the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. We did not sell the desserts for a fixed price but offered them to the people who came by in return for a donation. At the end of the day we had some desserts left over and we gave them away. The people who took the free food still gave very generously to our cause.
Fairfax City 4-H Community Club Shines at 4H Fair
