2010 NERVF will feature a "Ticket-in-a Bag" Auction!!!

A Ticket in a Bag Auction is to be held at the 2010 NERVF to help defray expenses. We are continuing the tradition of requesting that each attendee bring an item to donate with a minimum of value of $15. The tickets will be sold for $1.00 or 6 for $5.00; and will be on sale throughout the forum. We will be drawing the winners on Saturday afternoon; giving everyone time to collect their winnings to be packed to take home! This has been a popular auction at recent NERVF forums, and successful due to the great and varied gifts and items that were donated. There are many chances to be a winner! We appreciate your participation!!!


In the past we have seen some incredible auction items to entice a vigorous auction activity and our 4-H friends have won some real bargains!

Rehoboth beckons!

New Calendar -Look to the right

Attention Committee Chairs and Members. We have posted a NERVF Google Calendar - top left. Yes, it's small, but if you double click on a date, you will get an expanded pop up. Double click on that and event details will emerge. What time are we meeting, who needs to show up where, what time is Ernie bringing those pizzas? will all be at your finger tips! The break out committees can enter their meeting times here. Just notify Michele and she will post it!  This can also be used for volunteer assignments - where and when they need to report!

Registration materials coming soon!

We know what your thinking! When can I see the workshops, the tours and when can I register? We hear you!We are excited as you are! Information is coming soon. The draft registration packet is being proofed and will be posted soon on the 2010NERVF 4-H Website. All materials will be posted online first!

Or rather, the raffle block!  The quilt was handmade in Delaware.  Tickets are $1 each or six for $5.

Here is a close up of the pattern:

Welcome!

Welcome to the 2010 4-H NERVF blog.  We realize not everyone is comfortable with social networking sites, and not everyone uses them - so we thought we would create this blog format to post news, and also receive your comments, questions and feedback.  Comments are enabled and moderated (we don't think we have to worry!)

Delaware 4-H is counting the days to November 4, when our weekend of volunteer celebration and training begins and is shared with all members of the Northeast region. Please share this blog link with your friends and colleagues.

As the event nears, and when the event is completed, this blog will serve to highlight the wonderful days we have planned for you!  We hope to post pictures, links to photo galleries, useful links and resources going forward.

We invite you to comment, visit our main page at: http://www.rec.udel.edu/Extension/NERVF_DE_2010.html and become involved as we begin to celebrate all you do for the 4-H Youth Development Program.
