Here is a brief overview of the discussion portion of our 4-H Club meeting held on Thursday, June 15th. 4-H Club members would like to have the following events and activities:

• Overnight field trips, maybe to Strawberry/Pine or north of Payson. See if we can get another AZGFD grant. Water hike in a creek and search for crayfish. Water quality testing. Maybe go to Tonto Creek Camp where meals are included and there is a private waterfall.
• Tour EVIT
• Programs with animals: Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary, Deb’s Dragons
• Litter Clean up
• Bone Box from AZGFD
• Tobacco Awareness Program
• Donate books to a school that doesn’t have many
• Create a “Free Little Library”
• Add to Seed Library
• Volunteer at or donate money to an animal shelter. Maybe check out Tranquility Trail.
• Volunteer at the food bank or at a food pack event like Feed My Starving Children.
• Do more fundraisers. Bake sales, SIPPS, snack sale, plant sale, veggie sale
• Run a second Children’s Business Fair
• Community Service around culinary arts. Dinner for Veterans. Food for homebound seniors. Joy Bus Diner.
• We need to come up with a name for our “TIA Restaurant” like “TIA Cafe”, etc.
• Duck food signage and dispenser at Fountain Park. We should research other parks that have the signage and dispenser and then take the idea to Town Council for approval.
