With the special circumstances for this year, the project will be partially virtual with possibly being in-person as the year progresses. We will start with a staggered, socially distanced, in-person "meet and greet" to say hello and hand out materials, followed by a Zoom meeting the following week. Meeting dates will be determined soon.

Laughter Yogaphysical/outdoor/observationopenLaughter Yoga flyerLaughter Yoga is a practice that has been around since 1995. Research shows a variety of health benefits including: stress relief, strengthening the immune system, elevating mood, providing social connection, and eventually helping people become more positive thinkers. And it is fun! We will laugh together over Zoom in various exercises that are designed to help us move from unconditional to spontaneous laughter (in this case, being contagious is a good thing). Our bodies don't know the difference between unconditional and spontaneous laughter and get the benefits from both. All ages are welcome and the only requirement is to be able to join a Zoom video meeting.

Poultry, Marketsmall animalsFullMarket Poultry FlyerThis is a fun, hands-on project for kids who love animals and want to become a part of the 4-H farm! During the course of this project, we will raise day-old chicks for 3 months and then sell them as laying hens to Bay Area families.

While the details might change a bit, we are tentatively planning to purchase baby chicks in early December and each project member will raise four chicks at home for about 6 weeks (don't worry, there will be plenty of support and virtual meetings to learn all about how to take care of them, the basic supplies and everything). And when the chicks are old enough to go outside, we will move all of our chicks to the 4-H farm and our project members will rotate taking care of all of the chickens until they are ready to move to their new homes (this will be about 1-2 weekly visits to the farm for 6 weeks, and don't worry, there will be much social distancing).

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the Farm, meet the prerequisite to raise a large animal in the future, and have fun with a hands-on project.
