The Neepawa and Area 4-H Beef Club had their first re-organization meeting on Monday, Oct. 6 at NACI. Head leaders Tim Baker and Shelly Bjarnarson welcomed all the new and returning members, and parents.

Following introductions of all members, parents and officials; Dylan Oshanyk led the club members in a few mixers. The members participated in three games: Face Cookie, Suck and Blow, and Spaghetti and Noodle Challenge. Cora Baker won the jellybean guessing contest.

“Learn to do by doing” is the 4-H motto and our club proves this throughout the year. Our club is very active in the community, and during the month of November, the Neepawa and Area 4-H Beef Club will have the opportunity to work bingo at the Arden Community Hall. Look for us on Nov. 4, 18 and 25. Club members will also be preparing supper for approximately 40 people in conjunction with The Manitoba Beef Producers meeting. Supper will be held on Nov. 12 at the Neepawa Legion Hall at 7 p.m. Other upcoming events during November will be the Remembrance Day Parade, Weigh Day and Christmas Parade.

After a brief description of each position, we elected our club officers. This year’s Neepawa and Area 4-H Club officers are: president Dylan Oshanyk, vice-president Sydney deKoning, secretary Jenna Beaumont, scrapbooker Max Baker, treasurer Broddi Bjarnarson, banner scanner Claire Beaumont and club reporter Cora Baker.

We would like to thank all our parent helpers for all they do – from bringing us to our meetings, to making sure that all our events, fundraisers and activity days are running smoothly.  We know that we could not achieve what we have already without you.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:57pm by Dylan Oshanyk. Our next meeting is Monday, Nov. 3.
