4-H camp

.We need Adult and Teen Leaders to help with the Save Green-Go Green Day at Hamilton Place mall.  Please view the attached flyer and sign-up sheet. Please let us know and return one form to me (type & email or fax @ 855-6115)  by  Feb. 19, if possible.  A quick turnaround is needed to complete the event's planning. We need volunteers to staff interactive exhibits, assist with a Piggy Bank Pageant, and wear the Super Saver costume! Training will be provided upon arrival.  

This can be an exciting volunteer opportunity for your 4-H youth.  Open the flyer below for more information

Tennessee Saves projects

 Please print off the flyers and cut in half to use, the files are actually doubles so you can give the second half to another 4-Her.  Any youth grades 1-12 can participate.  The older youth can help the younger youth to make piggy banks as a leadership activity.  A news release went out to the Chattanooga Courier/Chronicle and Times Free Press to encourage the youth to save for summer camp which can be their Tennessee Saves' goal.
