Trivia night, book swap, & 4-H shirts!


Brown and Black Wooden Docor



Monday, January 14, 2019 at 6:30 pm is our General Meeting...chock full of fun activities!

Please note We're meeting at the Yeomalt Classroom (next to the Yeomalt Cabin).

  • Join us for a friendly team competition of Trivia.  It's been fun in the past and we're looking forward to another great game.
  • We're also excited to announce a book exchange.  Please bring a book that you would recommend someone else read (or a few if you would like) and leave with a book.  With the rainy and cold Bainbridge Island winter weather, it's a perfect time to enjoy a new (to you) book!  Feel free to bring fiction or non-fiction. 
  • Need a Bainbridge Island 4-H t-shirt?  Have you outgrown your 4-H t-shirt?  We'll be ordering shirts on Monday night but we're also having a t-shirt swap.  Please bring in your too-small shirts to pass along.  Please also bring your checkbook (new 4-H members will be provided a new t-shirt at no cost).

Happy New Year!

We wish all of our 4-H members a wonderful 2019!

As we reflect on our accomplishments since October, it's great to see the many projects that our members have been working on.     


  • In Cooking, our members baked delicious pecan pies (including gluten-free) for the annual holiday  party.  Thank you for the delicious treat!
  • Our Poultry and Garden group has been very busy.  They've recently toured a turkey farm and even watched a necropsy.  They did a craft with tillandsia and learned about the care. 
  • Our Photography project recently visited the gardens at Bloedel Reserve, capturing some terrific pictures!
  • Our Dog Project has also busy with lots of training and learning new commands at Yeomalt Cabin! 
  • Our Leadership project has been learning parliamentary procedures, ice breakers and planning the General Meetings.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our January General Meeting:  January 14, 2019 at 6:30pm at Yeomalt Cabin.  

Happy New Year!
