Our proposal continues to focus on sustainability of the camp and includes a composting toilet for the upper camp bunkhouse, a commercial dishwasher (that will save water and energy), as well as a more efficient ice maker for the kitchen. This is our second year of funding from the UA Green Fund, and we are very pleased that they see the 4-H Camp as an important campus project.

Private support monies should be: 1) given and used for priority educational purposes; 2) accounted for efficiently and fully; and 3) fundraising groups properly authorized to use the 4-H Name and Emblem are to be held accountable to the 4-H program granting authorization - there must be a definite plan to account for funds raised prior to authorization and such a plan should be within the policy guidelines of the State for handling funds. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>ln addition, there is a fact sheet available on the 4-H National Headquarters website that addresses raffles and other "games of chance" used by groups to raise dollars for 4-H.
