4-H Council

The regular monthly meeting of the Meeker 4-H Council was held on May 5, 2011, at the Extension Office Kitchen. President Taylor Neilson called the meeting order. Colby Clatterbaugh led the pledges. There were seven members, three parents and no guests in attendance. The minutes from the April meeting were approved. Kelsey Gross was not present to give a treasurer’s report.
Old Business:
The 4-H members did a great job selling butter braids. The Easter egg stuffing for the Easter egg hunt went very well. For the mini trip make sure to get your sign-in forms to the Extension Office. We discussed that we would like to go to the Denver Firefighter Museum on the last day of the mini trip.
New Business:
The 2011 fair dance was approved at the Fair Board meeting. It will be on Aug. 5, 2011, from 9-12 p.m. We need chaperones. 4-H members need to tell their clubs. The 2012 fair theme is “Rock With The Stock” get your coloring ideas in now.
Other Business:
Each council member gave a report on what their club is doing. We decorated tote bags with the 4-H emblem on it with fabric markers and regular markers.
Next meeting will be rescheduled to June 1, 2011, because of the mini trip.
