Sam, Emma, Jack, Mr. and Mrs. Machesic, Joe, Nick P., Mr. and Mrs. Polichetti, Rachel, Kelly Tony, Nick G., Laura and her father all went to the Shelly's Farm on the 18th to help clean up. The Shelly's farm got hit pretty hard with all the winter storms we had. They needed all the help they could get. There was going to be another help out today but due to the rainy weather it was postponed to a later date. That date will be posted on here once it is verified.
Thanks to all the help we got! It was a lot of fun and the Shelly's really appriciated all the help.

Roll Making
Thanks for everyone coming up with ideas for a kitchen. We got alot of ideas, which were so helpful.
Mrs. Neuman got permission from the Plumstead Grange for their kitchen for roll making. They were very nice to donate their big kitchen space for us.
The address is: Rt. 611 and Keller's Church Rd., Plumsteadville (practically across the street from the Plumsteadville Inn).
We will be making 30 dozen rolls, from 9 a.m. to about 1 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 25th.
We will need everyone to bring supplies.
First off we need LARGE mixing bowls and cupcake tins. Please label your tins, because they all tend to look alike. Measuring cups and measuring spoons. Aprons and dish towels would help.
If everyone could please bring some ingredients, we can divy-up what we need. Just email me and let me know. I will probably have to send out multiple emails to make sure we have enough of each thing, so please be flexible. Or hit REPLY ALL so that everyone can see what is still needed.
30 packages of fast-rising yeast
30 lbs of flour
3 lbs of sugar
3 gallons of milk
8 packages of sweet butter
3-4 boxes of 2 gallon plastic ziploc bags
For those of you who haven't done this before, it's really a fun opportunity for all of us to get together and have fun baking on a LARGE scale, and do something for our community. We look forward to hearing from all of you.
**** Jess, there is some down time when the yeast is rising. Can you come up with one or two games for everyone while we wait?

tonight's meeting
Hilltown 4H Meeting - Tuesday, Nov. 10th
7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
We will welcome in our new officers with the official 4H candlelight ceremony.
Drew and Jack will be kicking off the Hilltown 4H teams.
We will be concentrating on our support of Tony Polichetti's army squad serving in Iraq. We will be making cards and taking pictures for Tony Polichetti's squad in Iraq. At the last meeting we gave everyone a list of donations you can bring, that we'll send over to the soldiers.
They really need: aspirin (advil, tylenol, aleve, aspirin), snacks (all sorts, not candy), scotch tape, pencils-pens-pencil sharpeners, and soft toilet paper.
Please bring to the meeting all of your BonTon fundraiser money and leftover coupon books. We need to account for all of it to BonTon. Thanks to everyone who volunteered on that rainy Saturday.
Hold the dates:
We will be baking dozen-and-dozens of dinner rolls for the Zion Mennonite Church's Table of Plenty Thanksgiving meal. Our annual, marathon cooking session is Wednesday, Nov. 25th, 9 a.m. to about 1 p.m. All info will be available at the meeting. http://www.zionmennonite.org/tableofplenty.html
The December meeting is the presentation of our Drama Club's play. We will be meeting at a special date and time - Wednesday, December 9th at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Bedminster, 6:45 PM. If everyone could bring a desert or snack to enjoy after the play that would be great. We will have a short meeting before starting the play.

Perkasie Fall Festival
Hey there 4Hers,
Sunday is our fundraiser. We will be hosting a food booth in Menlo Park for Perkasie Fall Fest.
We need everyone to volunteer some time to help. We need you for an hour, or as much time as you would like, from 12 noon to 5 p.m.
Please let me know when you are available.
Everyone should were green and white along with your jeans. And 4H gear if you have it - t-shirts, bandanas etc... Girls, you need to pull your hair back in a bun or ponytail. Boys, you might want to wear a baseball cap, just to keep your hair away from the food.
We also need each 4Her to donate a case of water. Landis' has 24 packs on sale for $3.00, and Giant has 36 packs for $4.00. We will also be selling soft pretzels, nachos and cheese, and if its cold, hot chocolate. We will need coolers and a couple of crockpots. If you have one let me know.
Drama practice will still be a go for Sunday, but its moving to 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. If your child is not in Drama, it would be helpful if they/you worked at the end of the day to help close out.
I think that's it. Pray for sunny skies. Thanks everyone.

National Parklands Day
In celebrating National Parklands Day, cub scout Pack 196 will be doing trail maintenance at Nockamixon Park as a community service and have invited our 4-H group to come along and help keep our state parks clean.
We will be meeting by the marina at 6pm on the 23rd and will be picking up trash along the trails and the water’s edge. Bring gloves and wear shoes and clothes that can get muddy/wet.
Please contact Mrs. P if you are interested in attending. If we can get a group to go this will count as a service project for the club, pledging our head, hearts, hands and health to our community.
