April 10th 4-H meeting 10-11:30
GO ORANGE!As many of you know the whole month of April is “GO Orange” for animals. What this means is the ASPCA is seeking each of us to get the message out that animal cruelty is WRONG. And as we did last year we will have prizes for the best ideas and projects for getting the message out around your area. The prizes will be awarded in the May luncheon meeting . We will discuss this at our next 4-H meeting April 10th 10-11:30 at the Saddle Club . So wear something orange, dress your dog in orange and we will eat and drink orange snacks… you get the idea.
Also each of you will get a “go orange pack” and prizes so hope to see you then! The topic will be Canine Massage. If you have a dog that has been in our class or you have been approved to bring a dog (must have completed the waiver), you may bring your dog for this hands on workshop/meeting.
