Mitchell 4-H club is a great way to get involved with your community! We are a group of about 14 members. This club is small compared to the others but we do just as many things, if not more. We hold meetings once a month to discuss our activites, plan new ones, reward accomplishments, and party! Below is all the things we do listed by categories. =====

The 4-H carnival is held in October. It is a huge get together with all the clubs around the county to play games and win door prizes. If you're in 4-H you get the chance to do projects like take pictures, arrange flowers, take a BB gun class, show animals, etc in the county fair every June. If you do well enough you may advance to the State fair in September. After you compete in these we have an Achievement night to get your all your awards. =__ Projects __= Our club likes to give back to the community so we try to do as much as we can. Every year we buy and wrap presents for needy teens for Christmas. We also adopt a 2 mile stretch of the highway and clean up all the trash on it. We visit nursing homes and take them cookies we bake and play games and talk with them. =__ Parties __=
 * Teens for Christmas
 * Adopt a Highway
 * Toys for tots
 * Salvation army Christmas
 * Visit Nursing Homes
 * Concession stands
 * Summer BBQ
 * Skating/ pizza party
 * Lock-In

The parties have been one of most memorable moments of this club. Every year we have a BBQ in the summer at the county fair. For Christmas we have a pizza and skating party. My favorite is the lock in. We lock you in a building with 4-H leaders for 3 hours and you play games, eat food, learn par law, and have fun! =__ Skills __=
 * Learn about par law
 * Leadership
 * Responsibility
 * Citizenship

4-H has taught me many skills like the ability to be responsible for my own actions. Being involved in 4-H you learn the "par law system" this is a procedure to conduct a meeting in a productive and organized manner. This club has taught me how important it is to give back to my community, and be a leader for everyone. Becoming a member of this club was definitely on of the best choices I have ever made. So, join 4-H, be active, and have fun!include component="navigation"
