4-H News:

4-H Club to Perform on BET Tuesday Night

Tune into BET at 6 p.m. (ET/PT) Tuesday, September 26, 2006 to see members of the Bridgeton, N.J., Double Dutch 4-H Club perform a Double Dutch jump roping routine with Janet Jackson on 106&Park!

The Double Dutch 4-H club is one of many 4-H programs across the country that promote healthy living, nutrition and mental health with a combination of exercise, teamwork and, most importantly, fun!

Double Dutch is a skip rope activity in which two ropes are turned in an eggbeater fashion by two rope turners, while one or two people rhythmically jump between the simultaneously twirling ropes. For more information about Double Dutch programs, visit the American Double Dutch League Web site at www.usaddl.org or contact your county's 4-H office.

BET’s 106&Park is a live countdown of the ten most requested rap, hip hop, and R&B videos with a mix of interviews of actors, singers, athletes and others in the entertainment industry.

Stay tuned to next week’s issue of Clover Corner News for the full story.
