Except for an occasional donation, or Paper Clover grant, all funds that are used to support the 4-H program here in Cooke County must be earned each year. That includes: Over $1,000.00 in district contest fees, every contest that is entered there is a $10.00 fee per child. State 4-H Round-up registration fees, we try to cover these each year, an extra bake sale goes to help pay for our participants rooms and food. Out of county Leadership opportunities, Teen Retreat, D-4 Leadership Lab, and this year Texas 4-H Congress, the 4-H fund always helps with some of the expenses. County 4-H Camp, it usually takes $800.00 to cover the ‘extras’ at camp, including but not limited to snacks twice a day, the cost of workshop supplies, and other things that make camp so nice and memorable for so many. To make this a successful event Every Club needs to participate!! Paper Clover Outdoor Challenge Derrick Bruton, [email protected] Ready for a challenge, an outdoor challenge?
