History of Our Club
The H-Team 4-H Club was established in 1986 by Lisa Saffran. Lisa 'grew-up' in 4-H and wanted a club for her
children. Now her Grandchildren are club members! Other members in the club are former 4-H members who are now parents of
current 4-H members!
Cost of Club?
The club does not require any costly uniforms or materials. The only cost is $2 per member at the monthly business meetings.
The money is used for club sponsored activites such as: Bowling Parties, Club Lunches, and other Club Expenses. For those
that cannot pay, please contact the club leader. We may be able to waive your dues until you are able to pay. Your attendence
is more important than your money!

Our Emphasis
4-H Clubs are traditionally known as 'Farm Clubs'. It is true that many 4-H Clubs emphasize working with animals, but the
H-Team 4-H Club is a Crafts based club. In the H-Team you can learn many things:
-Arts and Crafts
-Woodworking
-Ceramics
-Photography
-Horticulture (Plant Identification)
-Consumer Awareness (Food and Product Identification)
-Bicycle Safety (Trail Rides)
-Public Speaking
-Demonstration Speaches
The SKILLS learned in our club
are focused for the locality of our club. Learning crafts teaches hand-eye coordination. Learning about the plants around
us, help us to know how to help our environment with proper plantings and plant longevity. Consumer Awareness, allows us to
know what fruits and vegetables are healthy, how to make a good purchase, and how to be a smart consumer. Public
Speaking is vitally important in today's society. Being able to clearly articulate, in an organized fashion, an idea and
convice people to accept your idea is imporatant in business success! Starting at an early age only makes it easier! Bicycle
Safety is also important in our neighborhoods of too many cars. We teach the parts of the bicycle and how to maintain the
bicycle. We go on a 24 mile bike ride every year on the B&A Trail.
