CLOVERBUDS ~ July Meeting Agenda

DATE
Tuesday, July 20th @6pm
Allen Township Community Building
Align Center
MEETING TOPIC
Creating a Photography or Creative Arts
entry for the Union County Fair

KINDHEARTED ACT
Our club is sponsoring a 4H award for the fair!

Our KindHearted Cloverbuds are partnering with KH4H to sponsor 2 awards. One award is for Scrapbooking and the other will be an animal award.

What a super way to be KIND HEARTED!
We will talk more about this at our meeting :)


ADDITIONAL MEETING INFO
Our Goal for this meeting will be to have each Cloverbud create an entry to enter in the Union County Fair. We will have the rules and entry forms available and will give instructions on how to enter these projects in the Fair.

We are planning to focus our meeting on photography and are hoping each child interested in entering a photograph in the Fair can bring a digital camera to the meeting to shoot pictures. Our hope is that one of these pictures will be entered into the Fair in the Open Class Photography Department. We are planning to contact a local photographer to come to our meeting and talk to us about how to take great photos.
Here is a list of just some of the Photography categories:
(can be either COLOR or BLACK & WHITE)
  • Animals
  • Children
  • Humorous
  • Nature
  • Landscape/Seascape
  • Sunrise/Sunset
  • Night Scene
  • Action sport
  • Still life flowers/fruit

For the Cloverbuds not interested in photography or unable to bring a digital camera, we will have supplies available for working on a drawing, watercolor painting or mixed media art project. Our hope is that one of these art projects will be entered in the Fair in the Open Class Creative Arts Department.

Here is a list of just some of the Creative Arts categories:
  • Portrait
  • Landscape/Seascape
  • Still Life
  • Union County Subject

You are welcome to bring along anything that you would like to photograph or draw or paint a picture of...a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, a picture of the beach that you'd like to like paint or draw...the ideas are endless! Start thinking about what you'd like to do and we will see you on July 20th!

CLOVERBUDS ~ June Meeting Rundown

A BIG THANK YOU to our Cloverbuds who donated healthy snacks for the firemen at the Allen Township Fire House. We had a great time touring their Fire Station and learning about all the many things that firefighters do.

We were reminded to STOP, DROP and ROLL and cover our faces with our hands if our clothes ever catch on fire.

We learned about the gear that firefighters have to wear and that it weighs nearly 50 pounds! They let us listen to the funny sound the firefighters make when they breathe with their masks on (kind of like Darth Vader). They reminded us not to be scared of them when we hear this noise...they are always there to help us!

Before we left, the firefighters gave us all a souvenir fireman hat...what a great end to our meeting!


Our next meeting is July 20th...more info to come soon! :)
