We want a 4-H Cooking Club
Still wanted: two adult volunteers to support a monthly 4-H cooking club. We would supply the club with expertise. Volunteers would charter the club, keep up with attendance, family contact, scheduling, and the business portion of each meeting. Email pkerley@ncsu.edu if you are interested in learning more. Members of this club could compete in the 8-10 and 11-13 age categories for teams at the Dinah Gore Healthy Food Challenge. 14+ members would be eligible to try out for the Flavor Fighters Cooking Team and take this county to Texas! ~ Pam Kerley & Ashley Szilvay
