Class A President - Juliet Vice-President - Bridget Secretary - Bryson Public Relations - Alex Community Service - Elaine Class B President - Chavon Vice-President - Jordan Henderson Secretary - Maleah Public Relations - Jordan Powell Community Service - Joshua All of these wonderful officers will have a presentation due at our next meeting on November 12th. Each has a pamphlet that outlines many ideas for presentations. Remember, the presentations should only be about 2 - 5 minutes. The rubric that I will use to assess their presentation is attached below. Joshua and Elaine are charged with bringing in a gallon jug to house POP TABS that we will be collecting. The program that 4-H is supporting is described below: Why Pop Tabs? Unlike the urban legend states, pop tabs do not support medical treatment of any kind including chemotherapy or dialysis; however, pop tabs do support the operations of Ronald McDonald Houses across the country. This popular fundraiser benefits seriously ill or injured children by helping provide a “Home away from home” for them and their families while they are hospitalized or receiving outpatient medical treatment. The Ronald McDonald House recycles pop tabs. The tab of an aluminum can is pure aluminum unlike the rest of the can which consists of mostly recycled aluminum and other residue. Recycled aluminum, at this point, pays a higher rate of return than just the tabs alone. Fun Pop Tab Facts: • 1 Pop Tab is approximately 1 inch long • 1,267 Pop Tabs make 1 pound • 1 pound of Pop Tabs can be sold for about 27 cents Here is an article about the history of UGA, 4-H and pop tab collecting: http://www.caes.uga.edu/applications/gafaces/?public=viewStory&pk_id=4284 I look forward to seeing which class brings in the most!!
