4-H-Madison All Stars-July 2009

The July 14 meeting of the Madison All Stars 4-H Club was held at the River Park shelter, and we had our annual Club Picnic. It began with Brandon Debbink calling the meeting to order. The American pledge was led by Evan Sukowaty, and the 4-H pledge was led by Jolynn Zinthefer. The roll call question was: “How many fair projects have you completed?”

The secretary’s report was given by Andrew Minster followed with the treasurer’s report given by David Bimmel. There was no reporters’ report this month.

Reports of the following were given: Sunshine Committee report – Heather Pfeifer; the Youth Association report – Shawn Burkhardt; the Leader’s Association report – no report (no meeting in June). Six items of correspondence were read by Brandon Debbink.

Old business was next on the agenda: Stephanie Kleckner gave a final report on the June Dairy Month Window Display; Emily Pearce concluded the June Dairy Month at Plymouth Care Center; Brandon Debbink spoke about Addie the Cow at Wings n’ Wheels; and Evan Sukowaty summarized the Club Picnic.
