Upcoming Events...
Public Presentations
4-H members develop their public speaking skills through our presentations program. Within each 4-H club members are encouraged to develop a public presentation of their choice. (The topic need not be related to the club’s activities.) The program’s intent is for 4-H members to learn to share information while teaching poise and developing self-confidence.
Dates and locations for this year's county level public presentations are:
| March 2 | Sussex County Community College | No Animals Permitted |
| March 9 | Sussex County Community College | No Animals Permitted |
| March 16 | Frankford Township School | Animals OK |
| March 23 | Frankford Township School | Animals OK |
All presentation nights will begin promptly at 7 pm

If you have something to donate, it may be brought to the Sussex RCE Office during normal business hours (8:30-4:30, M-F; closed for lunch between 1 and 2). Donations may also be dropped off at any of the public presentations events in March.
