Beauregard 4-H Outdoor Skills Meeting Set
An introductory 4-H shooting sports/outdoor skills meeting to serve as an advisory committee, plan our program activities and discuss program goals and future activities has been set. 4-H youth and parents/grandparents who plan to participate in this year's Beauregard 4-H shooting sports program are encouraged to attend this meeting. The meeting is set for Monday, August 31, 2009, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the War Memorial Civic Center, Room 4. To retain our participants and help the program grow, we will need to provide as many fun and educational activities as possible. To make this happen, we will need assistance of parents, grandparents and other interested adult volunteers to assist in helping and instructing youth involved in the program. At this meeting, we will discuss the direction of our parish program, set dates for youth activities and plan these activities. We also have the opportunity to utilize some property for a permanent shooting range as well as expand the parish outdoor skills program. We will need to discuss this opportunity at this meeting, as well. Please make every effort to attend this meeting.
Interested volunteers may wish to become a 4-H shooting sports instructors. The closest training for Beauregard Parish is set for Saturday, October 3, 2009.
