At the January 14th Scioto Sassafras 4-H club meeting many topics were discussed. The first item of business was club service projects. The club decided that they would be sponsoring an animal pen at the fairgrounds, working in a soup kitchen, and visiting local nursing homes. Next, the club discussed membership requirements and signed the club’s bylaws. Then, the club members discussed Jr. Achievement Records and officer training, which is where officers, such as the president of the club, go to learn more about their office. After that the club members were given small posters to put up to celebrate Pickaway County 4-H week, which is the last week of January, and to promote the club. Finally, the cloverbuds, who are club members in kindergarten to second grade, recited the 4-H pledge and shared what the four H’s stand for with the rest of the club. Snack was provided by club members. At the next meeting themes for this year’s 4-H booth will be discussed. The next Scioto Sassafras 4-H club meeting will be held on Monday, January 28th, at 7pm in the Scioto Elementary cafeteria.
