Posted 3/17/04 - The
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors are considering cutting
our 4H UC Cooperative Office in Santa Clara County. We have a
large horse project in our 4H and I personally own 2 horses
myself, so my first thought was to go to horse clubs for support.
Please consider sending email,
calling, faxing and sending letters to our county supervisors to
let them know that eliminating 4H is not the answer! Also, as we
all know, they start in one county and how long before other
counties are considering doing the same?
Unfortunately, our time is short,
they will be meeting and voting very soon and we need to
"bombard" them with pleas from fellow horse enthusiasts
and make them realize how important 4H is to our youth! Please
feel free to email me for more information and we appreciate if
you would consider forwarding this information to the rest of your
club: let them know how important 4H is to our kids and community!
