September Happenings

Your September 4-H Happenings went in the mail yesterday. Here is the digital version.

September 2011 4-H Happening

4-H Gardening in the Fall!

Join our MSUE Master Gardener Coordinator Shane VanOoosterhaut on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 in Room F of the Fillmore Complex at 7:00 p.m. (upper level). Shane will be teaching youth about fall planting, soil and how trees, bulbs and shrubs grow their root systems in preparation for the winter. Open to youth ages 9 to 19. Those participating will go home with a tree to plant along with other plants!

Vet Science Program

Join members of the Hope College Pre-veterinary program Club Animalia on Thursday, September 29th at 7:00 p.m. in room E (lower level) of the Fillmore Complex. The club and their advisor Dr. Greg Fraley will be kicking off a new veterinary science program for Ottawa County youth ages 13 and up (as of January 1, 2012). They will be meeting twice per month over the fall and winter. Space will be limited to 20 youth so after the kickoff youth will need to commit to participation on a regular basis. Each program member will receive a copy of the three veterinary science books from the National 4-H Skills for Life series. Members will learn about careers in veterinary science, and about animal health and well being as well as animal biology.
