The 4-H After School Tech Club will be holding another family movie night on July 30 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the JA Wendt Multipurpose Room. They will show their new video projects then show the movie “The Secret Life of Bees”. There will be popcorn and soda for sale – feel free to bring your bean bag and lawn chairs.

The 4-H After School Tech Club went to Portland last Monday to visit the KATU TV Station and attend a viewing of the evening newscast; today (Thursday), the 4-H Youth Mobilization Team will take a group of youth hiking to Saddle Mountain by Seaside, Ore. We are working on a series of two and three day “camps” for Middle School and High School members; these include Guitar Camp, Intro to Welding, ATV Camp and Quilting Camp. Flyers are out in the community and dates will be set this week.

The Friends of Extension are making preparations for the Second Annual Columbia River Country Days on October 2 and 3. If you would like to help with the planning or become a Friend of Extension member, please contact the Extension Office in Cathlamet.

Remember, the WSU Master Gardener volunteers are available to answer questions about plant problems at the Two Islands Farmers Market on Fridays from 3-6 p.m. at the Stockhouse Farm on West Birnie Slough Road.
