The Dayton Dodgers 4-H Club consists of a great group of hard-working, energetic, fun-loving youth from the communities of Fredericksburg, Readlyn, Sumner and Tripoli. Presently, the club is composed of 34 members, 16 male and 18 female in grades 4th through 12th.
The Club currently is alternating meetings between Sumner & Tripoli. We meet on the first Sunday of the month at 6:00 p.m. for approximately an hour & a half. The meeting consists of a leader-led activity, roll call, Pledge of Allegiance, agenda handout to follow throughout the meeting, 4-H Pledge and presentations and concluding with snacks and refreshments. Every club member is expected to host a meeting and give a presentation sometime throughout the year as detailed in the club program booklet that is planned yearly by the newly elected club officers and leaders.
New members- whatever your grade (4-12) are always warmly welcomed! Parents of old and new 4-Hers are welcomed and encouraged to attend the club meetings.
