4-H Community Teen Club

We have a very busy October service activity planned!! 

Our October service activity will take place on Thursday, October 28th at 6pm.   We will meet at the Campbell County Extension Office in Highland Heights. 

First we elect club officers.  Club officers will include President, Vice President, and a Secretary/Reporter.  If you are interested in being a club officer please let me know by emailing me at sherri.broderick@uky.edu. 

Once we elect officers we will assemble Takeaways for the Ronald McDonald House of Cincinnati.  Takeaways are a small sack breakfast or snack that families staying at the Ronald McDonald house can grab and eat on the go.  By 7pm we will depart for the Ronald McDonald House to drop off the Takeaways and to tour the house.  We will be back to the Extension office no later than 9pm. 

If you are interested in attending the October meeting and would like to go to the Ronald McDonald House to drop off the Takeaways and tour the house you must register by calling 859-572-2600 by Thursday, October 21st.   We may have limited space so please register as soon as possible.  If you would like to come to the meeting to elect officers and assemble the Takeaways but do not want to go with the group to the Ronald McDonald house please just let us know when you call to register. 

If you have any questions or would like more information about our October service activity please contact me at 859-572-2600 or sherri.broderick@uky.edu.
