citizenship skills and to give back to your community, this is definitely the

Beginning in November, Bossier 4-H will be partnering with the Bossier Sheriff’s Department to provide new and unwrapped toys for children (ages newborn to 12) at Christmas time this year. Toys donated by Bossier 4-H’ers will be given to children in Bossier City and Bossier Parish and will surely brighten their holidays. For each toy donated, a 4-H’er will receive $100 clover bucks! We will pick up all toys on Friday, December 4, 2026, beginning at 9:00 am from each school that chooses to participate.
“I now call this meeting to
order.” Which officer at your 4-H club
meeting will be saying this at the beginning of each of your meetings? If you
