Helping Hands

Since being an avid 4H member, fundraising and helping within the community has always been a huge part of what makes up a club. As one of our last duties before our awards banquet, tonight the West Carstairs 4H Beef Club lent a helping hand at the annual Co-op Appreciation dinner. Where we all pitched in to serve supper and help clean up afterwards. The best part about doing this is really quite obvious...the free meal after! Beef on a bun rocks my world.
If your curious to know what else 4H clubs do its simple, I'll share some insight with you.

• Christmas Caroling at the Old Folks home 
• Electronic Round up (We collect used or unwanted electronics and recycle them)
• Tire Collection (Collect tires of all shapes and sizes to be recycled)
• Bottle Drive (Round up empty bottles and take them off the hands of lazy citizens then cash them in to go towards the club of course)

This is just some of the fundraising we do, but it's more too it then that. Being apart of a 4H club gives you many benefits that you can apply to everyday life. For example:

• Multi-judging (You judge a variety of animals and objects such as, Horse, Dairy, Beef, Sheep, Quads, Lawn mowers, which cell phone plan is best for you, etc.)
• Public Speaking (If you like to talk then this is right in your neighbourhood! You have the chance to stand up in front of friends and family and talk about anything you want for 5 minutes, or do a presentation)
