SPAGHETTI LUNCHEON FUNDRAISER
It is that time again to start making Spaghetti! The Annual Spaghetti Luncheon is on June 1st. Sales started May 8th and we need volunteers to sell, make spaghetti, bake cookies, work prep day (May 31st) and day of the sale, and Adult Volunteers to drive on the day of delivery.

Prep Day will be Thursday May 31st at 10:00a.m. at the Extension Office. The day of the sale is Friday June 1st at 8:00a.m. at the Extension Office.
This year we have made some changes:
– Plates will be $8.00
– 4-Hers will receive a $1.00 voucher for every plate they sale (Name of 4-Her must be on the form they turn in. If only the family name is on the form the voucher will be to the family not for each family member)
– If a 4-Her just works or brings a tray of spaghetti/cookies they receive a $20.00 voucher
– If a 4-Her works and brings a tray of spaghetti/cookies they receive a $30.00 voucher
If you are interested in participating in the Annual Spaghetti Fund raiser please contact the Extension Office to let us know what it is you would like to do. This is a great way to have your 4-H membership dues paid for in September.
