If we shoot for these goals the BBQ will always be successful. This is such an important event on so many levels. It brings all the clubs together with a single goal. It showcases the program to the entire community. But most importantly, it is fun for the whole family. Adults and older teenage volunteers needed to trim meat!

Tip: If you begin keeping everything that is associated with 4-H or National 4-H Week Proclamations By Carlos Lopez (Imperial County All Star) The Imperial County All-Stars received proclamations from the cities of El Centro, Imperial, Holtville, Brawley Calipatria and the County of Imperial recognizing the week of October 5 11 as National 4-H week. The goal of a proclamation is to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of city residents and non profit organizations, to honor occasions of importance and significance to the residents and to increase public awareness of issues with the hope of improving the well being of citizens. With six proclamations recognizing October 5 11 as National 4-H week, not only is the Imperial County 4-H program gaining the attention of local officials, but also the attention of entire cities. These proclamations show the community that 4-H is an active youth-organization in their area. This increase in awareness may lead to an increase in community support of the 4-H program and allow the Imperial County 4-H program to achieve new levels of success. As the Imperial County 4-H program gains attention I encourage all members to make the best 4-H program better this year and every year from your project on the day you enrolled and begin records early, you will be more organized, less stressed and will do better on your Record Book in the end. Sgt. of Arms workshop Officer Training 4-H Club Officers enjoyed a fun filled day of learning the responsibilities of their positions and how to effectively run a meeting. They learned how to speak in front of a group and most of all had fun with new friends from all over the county!
