4-H Snack Shack major source of
4-H Leaders Council funding
The 4-H Snack Shack produces the major source of
income for the Morrow County 4-H Leaders Council. The
council uses this income to provide such programs as 4-H
camp, and materials for all 4-H program areas. The Leaders
Council also funds many fair awards. All 4-H members ben
efit from the proceeds that are earned by the Snack Shack.
Many 4-H leaders help in the Snack Shack at fair. They do
this because they understand how important the proceeds
are to the 4-H program. But, the leaders are so busy at fair
it is not right to ask them to take care o f their 4-H club and
then work even longer in the Snack Shack.
Parents o f 4-H members, this is an opportunity for
you to help your children and your child’s 4-H leader, says
Extension agent Bill Broderick. Volunteer to help in the
Snack Shack Please call the Extension office at 676-9642
if you are interested!
