2010...a big year for the 4-H Center!

This year is going to be a big year for the 4-H Center! Projects that will be started and/or completed this year:

- The John G. Rocovich Shooting Sports Complex is currently about 2/3rd's complete! We hope to have it completed and opened for use by the time camp rolls around in mid-June!

- Ground has been unofficially "broken" on our new Welcome Center located at the front gate. Work is beginning to pick up on this as the weather is breaking a little, but will likely get busier as the spring progresses. No clear date for completion on this yet, but we'll keep you posted!

-Rockbridge Vespers area is getting a bit of a face-lift thanks to one of our wonderful neighbors. More to come on this at a later date.

We've got plenty going on and are sure that 2010 will be a big year for us programmatically as well. We've added two new camps to our camp schedule already (4-H SET Camp...science, engineering, and technology; Carilion Camp Treehouse).

Our first Volunteer Training takes place the last weekend in March...we can't wait to be engulfed by the 200 volunteers we'll likely see over the weekend!

Hope your new year has started off with a bang and the year is a prosperous one for you!
