The Forestburg Golden Prairie 4-H club held their first meeting of the year for returning members on Sept.11.
It took place at the Forestburg Train Station with the roll call question being, “What was your summer highlight?” and the 4-H pledge was led by Thomas and Simone Eshpeter.
The Treasurer’s report showed a healthy balance, so it was decided that club fees would be reduced to $60 per member for the year.
Club fundraising, volunteering and social events were discussed. We will continue to do tire recycling and highway cleanup.
Volunteer/Community Service activities will be the bottle drive for the Forestburg Library, concession for Daysland Palace Theatre, and clean up crew for local Christmas markets.
We are planning a sports night every two months and the Christmas event will either be skating or bowling in Galahad. We are hoping to go skiing for our club trip this winter.
Elections of executive positions were held.
The new president is Thomas Eshpeter, the vice president is Rainer Bernard, the seceratary is Simone Eshpeter, the treasurer is Noah Toews and the club reporter is Sasha Weiss.
The district representatives are Joelle Zwack, Sasha Weiss and Wells Weiss.
Projects that are currently available are Busking, Photography, Book Club, Woodworking, Foods, Outdoor Living, and Creative Options.
This is just an idea of the projects in mind, they may or may not all work. Other projects are possible as long as a leader over 18 years is willing to lead it.
We invite new members to the next meeting which will be held on Oct 9, 7 p.m. at the Forestburg Train Station.
