We've Got The County Covered
Big Flat 4-H members met November 16th for a work meeting at Turner Lutheran Church at 3pm. Members present included: Avery, Natalie, Mary, Piper, Rosie, Mason, Hannah K, Isaac, Elliot, Evelyn, and August. Leaders present included Hilary. Parents were also on hand to help with the extra work the club was tackling.
Prior to the meeting the group divided; half helped prepare caramel for the rolls and panned them out for delivering, and the other half went to Fox’s yard to replace broken/burnt out bulbs in the town’s Christmas lights. When work was complete, the group came together to have a business meeting.
Avery called the meeting to order. Piper led the American Pledge, and Isaac led the 4-H Pledge.
Roll call was to describe one thing you are thankful for.
Natalie gave the Treasurer’s report: we have $1721.34.
Piper reported on the birthday party the club hosted at Sweet Memorial Nursing Home.
Natalie reported on Achievement Night.
Old business
Application due soon to be a 4-H ambassador; must be 14 to apply. There is a fall leadership program in Butte in November. We are serving the ambulance dinner tonight at the school. Avery and Mason made posters to advertise the caramel roll sales. Our club was assigned to host an “other” county event. We discussed doing a pumpkin carving event, but it didn’t work out this year. Enrollment is due now; enroll online on ZSuite and pay extension office $20/kid fee, $7 for leaders. Elections were held last meeting: Avery — President, Izzy — Vice President, Secretary — Hannah VV, Natalie — Treasurer, Piper — Historian, Hannah K — Reporter.
New business
Ideas were discussed for a Christmas party—movie night, ice skating, swimming at Sleeping Buffalo. Votes were taken for each idea, and swimming had the majority of votes. Club calendars were emailed to each family. Mandatory market beef weigh-in will be held in Chinook at Bear Paw Livestock at 10am on January 2nd. Beef must be haltered. There is a 4-H New Family Workshop on January 11th at 2pm in Chinook at the Triple E meeting room.
April and Annie prepping food for the ambulance meal. Since there is not a lot of room in the school’s kitchen, only a few kids will need to be present to help serve. Families staying to help include the Handrans, Klindworths, Foxes, and Mason Friedrich.
Meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting is scheduled for December 14th.
