Food Arts Project Report

The Food Arts Project met for our first meeting in late January. We worked together on making a charcuterie board and learned some new things including a banana palm tree, an apple swan and salami roses. Our charcuterie board was full of cheese, pickles, fruit, crackers and more. If you are 12 and older and want to join our project, our next meeting is Sunday, February 22 at 2pm and we will be making food mosaics.

Oak Town 4-H Project Reports!

10/29/2025

Project Reports
Projects have started and we've gotten a couple of project reports from our club members!

Project: Painted Rocks
“We enjoyed painting rocks in the first painted rock project meeting. We painted the 4-H website on some painted rocks that we made and then we later got to put them in Montclair park. So now other people would see them and learn about 4-H. Everybody did very different painted rocks. we enjoyed making the rocks and hiding them.”
- Wyatt

Project: Sewing
I've been part of the Sewing Project for three years with Oak Town 4-H. I think it's super fun because you can make stuff that is really cool and fun. For example a few years ago I made a whale stuffy and a reusable sandwich bag that I still have.

This year we meet at my parent's house so I don't have to move too far from the couch. Our first meeting we made pillow cases. I made the pillow case too long, but it's still fun to make. Next week we will meet for the second time and make trick or treat bags for Halloween.

Our sewing project is always fun. We make useful things that we can use in our daily lives that are cool and fun. It is a great way to make new friends with common interests.

Trunk or Treat Needs YOUR Help!
Our October Club Meeting begins with a festive Trunk or Treat with families volunteering to decorate their trunks or tailgates with fall holiday-themed decor and a simple game with candy or trinket prizes. This means we need families to sign up as one of our Trunk or Treat vehicle "booths". This can be as simple or fancy as you wish and vehicles should be in the upper dimond rec parking lot by 5:45 to set up so kids can start visiting at 6pm. The kids will start parading down into the Center at 6:30 soit is a very short-lived commitment. We really appreciate your help!

New this year: All Trunk or Treat vehicles will be judged and the one deemed best will win a prize! Be sure to enter your Trunk or Treat...the kids will have fun and you may win!

FIRST EVER Oak Town 4-H Day of the Dead Celebration
The Officer Team wants to try something new this fall- a Day of the Dead Celebration where you can honor and celebrate the life of a loved-one no longer alive. The loved one can be a family member, a pet or just someone that was dear to you. Bring a photograph, trinket or some other small object that makes you think of them. At the club meeting you will be able to share your love and appreciation for this loved one and how the object you share brings them to mind.

When you arrive at the meeting, the Trunk or Treat will be going on in the upper parking lot and then you will line up for a costumed parade down into the Dimond Recreation Center.

Be sure at that point that you have the item you want to share with you.
As you enter the Center's meeting room, there will be a smaller table with a table covering on it. Just place your item on that table until the Costume Contest is complete.
At that point we will shift to sharing items about lost loved ones to celebrate their lives and you will pick up your item from the table and share who your loved one was and why the item is special to you in remembering them.

Skate Night is coming!! Do you like to skate? Do you want to get together with your county members and have some fun? Skate over to Golden Skate on October 27th, and participate in our annual skate night! This event is an early celebration of Halloween, so wear your costumes! If you want to win a prize, then you can participate in the costume contest, with many categories to increase your chance of winning. It’s really fun, and the food is yummy. See you there!

NEW for Oak Town 4-H Club in 2025-2026
The Oak Town 4-H Officer Team met and has a great year planned for you. They have come up with a few new ideas we will be bringing on board this year. Some of these include:

Family Files: a place to pick up current information and to keep documents used throughout the year. All families registered by 9/7 will have a file ready for the September Club Meeting and more will be added as registrations come in.
Super Member Form: We want to reward members that are active and participate in our club. The new Super Member Form gives members the opportunity to win prizes for doing stuff. The forms will be available each month and kids can get the items stamped off as they do them and those completing the form will get a prize at the end of the 4-H year.
Meeting Timeline: The Officer Team are switching the timeline of the meetings up a bit this year. The first 15-20 minutes of the meeting will be devoted to a group activity that is more free-form, followed by snacks and the business portion of the meeting will start after that. The Upcoming Events and announcements will be towards the beginning of the business meeting so those with very young children can find out what's coming up and then leave if this fits their young children's schedules.

The Officer Team will evaluate these changes periodically through the 4-H year and make adjustments if they find it necessary.

Oak Town Club June Picnic and Planning Committee
Our OT4H end-of-year party will be in June. The Officers who met May 4th picked June 8th afternoon as the date of the party. However, several families have voiced their concern with the date as OUSD gets out the end of May and several families have already planned their vacations for that week. So.....we are conducting a poll to see which date is preferable to most families. Please fill out this google form ASAP. Entries by Sunday, May 11th will be considered and the final date choice will be announced at the Monday Club Meeting, May 12th.

Additionally there will be a planning committee for the party that will meet on Zoom May 18th to decide the activities, food and general agenda for the party. All members and parents who wish to have input are encourage to attend.

Oak Town 4-H Participation in Alameda County 4-H Fair Exhibits, Fund-Raising and Outreach
The Alameda County Fair opens June 13th and concludes July 6th. There are several ways to be involved in the County Fair. Although all participation in the County Fair as a 4-H member/family is encouraged, participation in the only County 4-H fund-raising at the fair is STRONGLY encouraged and expected.

The 4-H Cake Booth at the fair raises funds that support the entire county 4-H program. The County 4-H Program does not receive any funds from the State 4-H office but runs all of the county activities from field days and events, conference/camp scholarships, recognition and awards and more. Each 4-H Club in the County is expected to staff the 4-H Cake Booth at the Fair for one day. The date for Oak Town 4-H is June 21. We will have a signup genius for filling this date in 3 hour shifts from 11:30am-10:30 pm and need both youth members 7 and up and parents and leaders. Fair entry and parking passes are provided for all members and parents that sign up. If you are unable to work this date there will likely be additional hours available on different dates that Clubs have not signed up for.

Another opportunity to participate in the County Fair is by helping with outreach activities at the 4-H Feature Booth in the new Safeway Farm area of the fair near the livestock pavilion. Help will be needed on all Fridays through Sundays, likely in 2 hour shifts between 1-6pm. A sign up genius will be available for this as well.

Participating in the Fair by exhibiting items made in Club Projects is also encouraged and hopefully your Project Leaders have been working on this with you. Most still exhibits must be pre-registered by May 15th at 5pm and are physically due to the fairgrounds Friday or Saturday, May 23/24. Information on Youth Still exhibits is here and includes entry and delivery information along with judging standards and requirements.

Community Service Fair Poster-Making Experience
When making the poster for the Rabbit display, I learned that rabbits like certain toys when they are feeling certain emotions, like stress. They like to dig and when they are just normally playing around for fun, they like things to chew on. There are toys that rabbits have to think about in order to use them, for example, the toilet paper tube with popsicle sticks in it, they have to pull the popsicle sticks out to get the treat inside the toilet paper roll. I also realized that rabbits never stop growing their teeth and that rabbits eating carrots is a myth. They don’t actually eat carrots – it’s bad for them.

Alameda County 4-H Camp is BACK!

If you’re interested, please email Ashley Wheeler at [email protected] before our upcoming meeting on Sunday, May 11. We hope to see you there!

If you can't be camp staff, then please save the date to attend! We'll send out registration info as soon as we have it. Our theme is Critter Camp!

Club Houses started discussing their Club House Mascot in November but did not complete their choices so they will revisit this and make their own Club House mascot selection. Then for the activity each Club House will be given a Brown Bag Skit packet to put together a short skit, themed to "4-H Adventure", to perform for the whole club. If should be a fun and entertaining evening!

Parent/Leader Meetings at Club
For many of the Oak Town 4-H Club Meetings, there is a separate parent/leader meeting while the youth members are in their Club House Meetings. For January we will touch on Communication and Public Speaking. But this is also a chance for you to bring your questions and concerns for discussion and advise. Is something working well that you want to comment on? Or is there something that isn't working or you don't fully understand? Bring your questions and we will address them as best we can.

December Oak Town 4-H Community Service

1/8/2025

The Davis Street Family Resource Center community event was a great experience for those 4-Hers who attended. There were two options to choose from. The first was boxing up meals for the families to pick up. Each box had a certain list of ingredients that would be followed to ensure that the families would get what they needed. The boxes were assembled one by one where each person would choose their item from the table with abundant supplies. Then, the finished boxes would be stacked up and transported to all of the homes. The other option was to bag toys. Each volunteer would get a bag and fill it up with 3 toys, one of each size, and some other items such as games, stuffed animals, and stocking stuffers. The bags would be tagged with the gender and age group that they were assigned to. Overall, each 4Her that attended helped serve their community with these kind actions.

Your Oak Town 4-H Officer Team has begun planning a great, fun-filled program year including a Picnic Dinner n the Park (Dimond) for September, A Trunk or treat for October, Club Awards and Club House activities for November and much more.

Enrollment information and links for both returning and new Youth 4-H Members can be found on the club's website 'Enrollment" page. Returning 4-H members and new members who are certain they wish to join should be enrolling right now. The sooner members get registered online and complete our in-house survey for Project Signups, the sooner projects can begin meeting. Remember that EACH 4-H member needs to complete and send in this supplemental form so that Projects can be assigned correctly. If you wish to be involved in Oak Town 4-H this program year, please sign up SOON.

Adult Volunteers should be signed up NOW. Information on adult certification and enrollment can be found on the Alameda County 4-H Website "Volunteer" page but returning volunteers need to scroll down the page for more specific information on recertification.

Oak Town 4-H Club Meeting Schedule
Due to the way national holidays fall this year, our club opted to meet on the 3rd Mondays for the remainder of 2024 (Sept-Dec) and then revert to the 2nd Mondays for the rest of the program year (Jan-May). Club Meeting dates and other dates of interest are posted, and added to throughout the year, on our Oak Town 4-H Club Calendar.
