Hat's Off to Cancer

4-H families are invited to bring a new hat, scarf or bandanna to our Honor's Night Celebration on Friday evening February 22 at First Presbyterian Church in Asheboro.

4-H will be collecting these new hats as a community service project and presenting them to the Randolph Cancer Center that evening.

Hat's Off to Cancer is a national initiative to donate new hats to children living with cancer. Due to the low immune systems of cancer patients, Hats must be new and unworn prior to donation.

Shooting Sports Training Scheduled

The Spring 2008 North Carolina 4-H Target Sports Workshop will be held April 11-13, 2008 at Millstone 4-H Camp near Ellerbe, NC. The workshop is designed to equip adult volunteers to work with youth in 4-H Target Sports Clubs. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and information while enhancing their skills in teaching youth through the use of the National 4-H Shooting Sports curriculum materials.

We will be accepting a total of 60 participants for the workshop - no more than 15 in each of the following disciplines: pistol, hunting, shotgun, and muzzleloading (note: accepted applicants will participate in only one discipline throughout the entire weekend long training). Participants are being asked to pay a $25 fee to help offset some of the cost for the workshop. We are asking that all participants be registered with their local Extension office as 4-H volunteers prior to attending our workshop.

This is a hands on workshop, participants will be required to pass a written test in their discipline and required to teach portions of their curriculum as part of a practicum test. Participants should be familiar with the shooting disciplines they choose; we will not be teaching participants to shoot but rather how to use shooting sports as a youth development tool.

For registration materials, contact Randolph County 4-H at 336-318-6000.
