HCE DAIRY BAR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED (OLDER YOUTH & PARENT) AT CLARK COUNTY FAIR.

August 11th — August 14th

Our HCE Dairy Bar at the Clark County Fair could use some extra help again this year! HCE stands for Home and Community Education, which many of you might know better as Extension Homemakers. Maybe you have a Mom, Grandmother, or Aunt who belong or previously belonged to this organization. Our main goal of earning money at the Dairy Bar is to award THREE $500.00 scholarships to 3 Clark County residents who are attending a college or technical school. After one year of education beyond high school, all Clark County residents are invited to apply. The applications can be obtained at the Exten-sion Office. Pick one up today if you qualify!

The Dairy Bar is open during the Clark County Fair, Thursday August 11th through Sunday August 14th. It takes many people to help with all the customers throughout the four days. If you have a friend that you'd like to bring along to work on your shift, even if not a 4-H member, they are more than welcome to sign up also. Our HCE Dairy Bar is connected with the 4-H Food Stand. Last year we had many fantastic young volunteers come in and help. Either they were making hand dipped cones or scooping the ice cream into ice cream buckets for the use of making Malts and Shakes which are so popular. That was a life saver when we had orders of 5-6 Malts at a time. We couldn't do it without your help! Why would you like to come help us??? Besides all of us HCE Members loving to work with the youth and meeting our fantastic volunteers, we do let you have your choice of an ice cream treat before you leave - It could be one of our Double ice cream cones, a float or a malt or shake! Also if you do decide to apply for our HCE Scholarship, we'll give you extra points when adding up the score of who will receive the scholarship for their Fall tuition. 4-H parents or grandparents, we'd love to offer this invitation to you also. Everyone will get a free admission to get into the Fair the day you volunteer if you don't already have a season pass. Our shifts are about 4 hours and you'd have the remainder of the day to enjoy the fair. I always compare being a member of HCE to my growing up in 4-H. I'd love to share with you what HCE is all about and invite you to join one of our clubs. Why should the kids have all the Fun??? We have a State Conference which is very enjoyable and very educational. This September our State HCE Conference will be in Eau Claire. It's a 1-3 day event of tours, learning sessions, meeting new friends and great food. Remember 4-H Camp? Well - HCE has many opportunities to continue learning too at any age! We have held many sewing events throughout this past year.

If you are interested in working a shift at the Dairy Bar, please call 715-743-6629 or cell 715-937-2324. I will try to work around the most convenient time you are able to help. I'd love to hear from you!!! It's not too early to start signing up!

International Committee News

One of the things we are asking that you work on this year is to sew "Therapy Quilts" for Nicaragua. The instructions follow. * Lightweight Quiltlets for Medical Centers in Nicaragua * Use Cotton Fabric * Use 2 pieces of fabric (No batting) * Sew the two pieces together and then quilt with embroidery thread or yarn, or simply topstitch the edges and a few times across the center. * Make in different sizes - anywhere from one yard pieces of fabric to two yards or so - and any size in between. Usually the width of the fabric(45" wide). Can also use up your smaller pieces of fabric from quilt making squares, designs or whatever else works. * Color is always good and cheerful - children's or any happy design. The children in the hospital are anywhere from infants, toddlers to young teens. Larger size quilts are also in need. They are also used for adults to have a light cover for dignity. We can obtain labels from Wisconsin/Nicaragua Partners to put on the quilts. If your club is interested in making some, need more information, or when you have some contact Lois Becker or Joanne Trunkel. We will take them along to State Convention September 12. ***********************************************************************************************************

State Convention Of HCE The State Convention of HCE will be in Eau Claire this year on Sept 12- 14. Our district (West) is hosting. If anyone is interested in going for even one day(Tues. would be best day) please contact Joanne Trunkel or Lois Becker and we will try to get you information. You can also talk to anyone on the HCE board or extension office. The information will be coming out after the middle of May. **********************************************************************************************************
