The Sanborn County 4-H Building in Forestburg has served the area well for many years, supporting 4-H as well as many community events. We are in exciting times as both growth in 4-H and needs from the school and community are demanding more space for activities.
We are pleased to announce that plans are underway to expand the 4-H building. The Sanborn County 4-H program has grown from about 30 members in 2004 to 160 members today. Of that total, we have 90 4-H members in the Shooting Sports program, an increase from 15 in 2008. Shooting Sports offers practice every week on Sunday and Tuesday from January to April, and this activity pushes the building capacity to its seams. As we have explored ways to support and expand our annual Achievement Days and other 4-H activities, we also find the need for more space.
The building is used for community and school activities throughout the year including meetings and workshops, graduation receptions, showers, family reunions and get-togethers, funerals and the Forestburg alumni reunion. As we have visited with Sanborn Central and Woonsocket Schools, we find that there is a need for additional building space for school plays, FFA activities, marching band practice, cheerleading practice, and much more that could take pressure off the school gym and support various activities. We see potential for the building to be used for larger social events with increased space.
We are planning to double the size of the existing 100’x60’ Building with an addition to the north side. It will provide mostly open space, but also add storage off the kitchen and add a family/handicap-accessible restroom. Groundbreaking is planned for May 2023.
A major
step in this process is of course fundraising with a total goal of $300,000. We have received a $100,000 commitment from
the Sanborn County Commissioners. To date we have raised and/or received
commitments for an additional $58,000 of this amount for a total of $158,000 of
goal. We intend to raise the remainder through donations, fundraising and
grants. Donor recognition levels range from a one-time gift of $500 to $15,000,
as well as on option for a recurring donation that gives you signage in the
building addition. This brochure will provide a rough draft of the planned
addition, donor level opportunities and information on the need for the
addition.
http://www.sanborncounty4h.com/doc/4-HBuildingProjectDonorBrochure.pdf
We have scheduled a kick-off fundraiser event on Saturday, February 19th at the 4-H Building, serving a free-will offering steak meal with a silent auction and a live auction. We also have ongoing raffle boards that allow you a chance to win a gun or on a bow for a $20 donation for a square on the board. The current gun board is for a Ruger 5.56 AR15 and the current archery bow board is for a PSE Brute NXT Compound Bow. Drawings are held when the board is full.
You may contact any of the Building Committee members to donate cash or an auction item or for more information: Scott Senska 605.350.1657, Art & Audrey Kneen 605.495.4321, Andy Ettswold 605.770.0794, Riley Zoss 605.630.8895, Rod Weber 605.350.5374, Myron Sonne 605.248.2305 and Paula Linke 605.350.2813. We will continue to add updated information on our website here: http://www.sanborncounty4h.com/4-h-building-addition-project.html and on our Facebook group page found by searching Sanborn County 4-H Building Addition Project.

COMMUNITY
CommunityWoonsocket Wi-Fi
The
Woonsocket Community and Events Center has expanded its central role in
connecting community residents and visitors. Santel Communications
recently installed a Public Wi-Fi system that provides free Wi-Fi.
According
to Woonsocket Schools Superintendent, Dr. Rod Weber, “The school’s
remote and eLearning platforms require the student’s reliable access to
the Internet. It is important for the school to work with families and
community to provide connectivity they need to continue learning through
varied pandemic conditions and restrictions. Santel approached the
school on ways to help and within a short amount of time, free public
Wi-Fi was implemented.”
The community center now has Wi-Fi
coverage inside and outside the building. The students and public are
invited to use and access Internet for their needs. General Manager Ryan
Thompson of Santel states, “Our enhanced Wi-Fi systems allow expanded
coverage in an area commonly used by the community for many different
events and gatherings. If more stringent social distancing is required,
we felt it was important to offer students and residents outdoor ‘drive
up’ Internet as well. Drive up, park, connect. Easy, safe and
convenient.”
Internet-connected device users should select the
community center Wi-Fi access point on their device and with no password
required the system allows up to a 2-hour session of free Wi-Fi
internet.
To add anything to the announcements, please contact luci.grassel@k12.sd.us
