Message from Jeannie Area VI 4-H Fright Night at the Maze! Open Riding Season at the Grant County Fairgrounds Del's Fall 4-H Paper Clover Campaign Last Week It's Not Too Soon To Vote for the 2015 Grant County Fair Theme! Teen Leadership: Learn. Grow.

Happy October! Thank you to the 4-H Clubs which have been able to participate in the TSC/Del’s Paper Clover Campaign this fall. Don’t forget that it doesn’t end until Oct. 19th, so you still have a chance to drop by to help out or plan an event at the Ephrata and Othello stores this weekend. Be sure to remind your friends that their $1 donation is appreciated and that 70% of what is donated comes back to the Grant-Adams Leader’s Council, while 30% goes to National 4-H programs. I’m excited about starting at Teen Leader’s Program here in the Grant-Adams Area. All 4-H enrolled teens, grades 7 – 12, are welcome. Our first meeting will be in December (date, time and place TBD). If you have questions, feel free to contact me. Most of the enrollment packets went out last week. Some clubs are beginning to enroll and re-enroll members. Don’t forget that all volunteer leaders are required to take the leader training. I will be have two more trainings in the Moses Lake Extension Office after we have moved and settled in. Our move is scheduled for Oct. 23 and 24. Please be patient while we relocate and unpack. Our new office facility will be located at 1525 E Wheeler Road, directly across from Ziggy's. Next week I will hopefully have a report from the Washington State 4-H Forum in Wenatchee happening this weekend. Remember to send in your photos and event information for the Friday Update so that we can highlight what your clubs are doing! Thanks,

Del's Fall 4-H Paper Clover Campaign Last Week (Be sure to stop in Ephrata and Othello Del's this weekend to see what is going on!) Del's in Ephrata

Del's in Othello Wahluke 4-H participated in the deals day on Saturday, October 11. We sold bagged coffee as a fundraiser and had duct tape for crafts and made wallets, coin purses, and lanyards. We helped kids who came in the store play bingo and gave out prizes. While we were there only one customer did not buy a clover—so our presence made a difference. Overall a fun day.
