enjoys the delicious elegant reception appetizer meal consisting of assorted
beef, chicken, and more. Following the 4-H mix and mingle sponsors and 4-H attendees
will be invited to a sit down dessert bar and entertained by some keynote
speakers for 25 minutes.
Each
year our Appreciation night reflects a different theme, the 2016 theme is

I.T.S. Travel & Cruise 4-H Booking Program
FREE Money for Your 4-H Club
Parents, grandparents, leaders, friends and neighbors, can all help raise funds for your local 4-H Club each time they book their travel arrangements through Select Holidays & I.T.S. Travel & Cruise. This includes air flights, vacations packages, cruise vacations, travel insurance, cars, hotels and more.....
Upon making a booking, all patrons can then specify which local 4-H Alberta club they wish to benefit as a result of using Select Holidays & I.T.S. for their travel arrangements.
The amount of services and travel purchased will then determine the financial support going back to the patron's 4-H Alberta club of choice, and the 4-H Foundation of Alberta.
I.T.S. has committed to following financial dollars, based on booking amounts, to be forwarded to local clubs and the 4~H Foundation of Alberta:
· Up to $1999 receives $25.00 per person
· $2000 - $4999 receive $50.00 per person
· $5000+ receive $100 per person
How to use the Booking Program
1. Anytime throughout the year, book a flight, car, hotel, etc. by contacting I.T.S. Travel & Cruise:
I.T.S. Travel & Cruise
Lynn Holinski
5056-50th St.
Innisfail, AB T4G 1S7
Phone: 1.877.227.4348
email: lynn@itstvl.com
2. Upon booking, state the 4-H Club you would like to receive the financial benefit from your booking. 75% of the financial support based on the booking amounts listed above will go directly to the club you specify; the remaining 25% will go to the 4-H Alberta Member and Leader Travel Fund.
3. Quarterly, the 4-H Foundation will forward funds provided by I.T.S. Travel & Cruise via EFT to applicable 4-H clubs.
For Example: Joe Smith from Blufton, AB calls into I.T.S. Travel and books a trip for him and his wife totalling $2,100.00 each, or $4,200.00 total for them both.
I.T.S. Travel & Cruise asks Joe Smith if there is a local 4-H club he would like to direct his bookings support to. Joe Smith specifies that he would like the Rimbey 4-H Canine Club to benefit.
Because Joe's trip costs $2,000.00 a person, $100 is able to be provded back to 4-H Alberta. 75% of that will be directed to Joe's specified club (Rimbey 4-H Canine Club) and the remaining 25% will go to benefit the 4-H Alberta Member and Leader Travel Fund. In other words, $75 will go to Rimbey 4-H Canine Club and $25 will be directed to the 4-H Alberta Member and Leader Travel fund.
