Looking for some ideas for Celebrate 4-H Skits? Here are a few ideas that I've been able to come up with! You might add to the list!

* Disney Characters Explore 4-H

* showcase your one day 4-H project and how SERVICE made an impact

* Use a current sit-com, movie, cartoon, soap opera or television show to play off of the story line! Keep it CURRENT!

* Use a current game show like "Deal or No Deal" to create a skit

* Use a popular children's story and re-write the story to be 4-H related

* And the list could be endless!

State 4-H Council Community Service Projects

It is with great pleasure that I share with you one of the Community Service programs that your State 4-H Council has selected to support and promote: Breedlove Foods Inc.

Breedlove Foods Inc. is a Texas based 501(c)(3) charitable, non-profit organization that is dedicated to feeding the hungry...the malnourished...the poor...the sick...the underprivileged...the destitute...the famished...the starved...the needy...the impoverished...the deprived...

Did you know that:

Well over 1,000,000,000 people will go to bed hungry tonight. 1 man, woman, or child dies every 2.9 seconds from hunger-related causes.

Worldwide, more than 1.2 billion people currently live on less than $1.00 per day.

Your Texas 4-H Council is challenging you to help!

The number one thing you can do to help Breedlove Inc. help others is to give a monetary donation.

However, the Texas 4-H Council encourages each district / county to raise money by doing something good for your community.

The Council has put together just a few ideas to get you started thinking:

● Pick up cans on a highway and take cans to a recycling plant. Use the money as your donation.

● Mow neighborhoods yards for donations only.

● Set a goal, and have your county extension agent do something crazy as a reward for reaching it! (Kiss a pig)

● Host a Donkey Basketball Game

● Have a Bake Sale

● Hold a Car Wash

● Start a Penny War between counties or clubs

● Have a County wide bingo tournament

DATES TO REMEMBER

Turn in your money and the order form to your district office by May 6th. Your district office will then turn in the amount to the State by May 13th.

The district that raises the most money will be recognized at Texas-H Roundup!

The promotional flyer is attached and was designed for in a color format that copies well for duplication purposes.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

For more information about the Breedlove Community Service project contact:

State Community Service Committee Chair Micala Michaud at texaschic94@gmail.comor your district council officers.
