Clover Leaves

Eau Claire County 4-H

May 6, 2025

Next Meeting - May 13, 2025

Thank you to those who have volunteered already to be on the Executive Board.

Leaders Association Meetings are held at the Eau Claire County Extension Office the 2nd Tuesday of September, November, January, March, May, and June. 6:00 will be a time to hear policy updates, ask the 4-H Educator questions, and brainstorm club ideas. Meetings will start at 6:30pm. PLEASE make every effort to send a representative to these meetings. Attending is how we make connections and learn from each other to bring the best program we can to the young people in our clubs. It connects your local club program to the wider county program and makes you aware of the wider opportunities in 4-H so that you can promote those to your club members.

The training will cover financial management best practices, writing checks, supporting youth in the treasurer role to take on developmentally appropriate leadership, and preparing to fill out the Annual Financial Report.

Volunteer Oportunity

Community Table

The Community Table is excited to invite you to be part of a hands-on, low-commitment volunteer opportunity with the Community Table Hydroponic Garden!

We have Fork Farms Flex system—an innovative hydroponic setup that allows us to grow fresh produce year-round with minimal space and effort with just light and water. We’re looking for a few reliable volunteers to help keep the system thriving.

Here’s what you need to know:

No experience is needed—we’ll show you everything!

Time commitment is just 30–60 minutes per week

You’ll help with simple tasks like checking water levels, harvesting, and ensuring the plants stay healthy

This is a great opportunity to learn something new, support our community, and help provide fresh, healthy food to those in need.

If you’re interested—or know someone who might be—please feel free to reach out to me directly at director@thecommunitytable.org or share the attached filer with them.

Let’s grow something good together!

Warmly,
TJ Atkins, Director

Plastics Recycling at the Extension Office

Help the Eau Claire Clovers with a recycling project!

They are collecting film plastics such as grocery bags that will be turned into a bench (please see the list above). The goal is to get 83 lbs a month in order to make a bench in a year.

You can bring your plastic films to the Extension office and put them in the collection box.
