Gladstone 4-H Handi-Workers

On Tuesday, Oct. 13,  the Gladstone 4-H Handi-Workers held their first meeting of the 2015/16 4-H year.  As of that day, there are 26 members registered in 12 different projects.  

Special thanks to our head leader Kynda Pollard, assistant head leaders Heather Lea and Fran Clayton, as well as project leaders: Kat Smith (Cloverbuds), Vicky Wilson (Adventure into 4-H), Wanda Asbenlieder (Equine), Fran Clayton (Smart Sitter), Janet Corbett (Explore Foods), Kristine Loomis (Discover Science in the Kitchen), Kynda Pollard (Digital Cameras), Laurie Watts (Discover Crafts-Scrapbooking), Heather Lea (Fibres and Fabrics: Tops and Bottoms Year 2) and Cindy Adamson (Woodworking).  The club is currently seeking leaders for the Explore Fibres and Fabrics and the Camping and Survival Skills projects.    

Thank you to the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op for their donation to the club and for sponsoring the Gladstone Fair pancake breakfast.  Special thanks also to the Benchland Forage Consortium for their donation and to the Gladstone United Church for the use of their facilities for our meetings and Achievement.  The club voted to give a $100 donation to the church.

During the meeting on Oct. 13, members practiced their speaking skills by introducing themselves and stating which project they were taking this year and why.  Assistant leader Heather Lea reviewed important meeting management key words and oversaw our election of officers.  Our new executive is Kayden Kasprick (president), Robin Semler (vice-president), Nikki Anderson (secretary), Shayne Winters (treasurer) and Madeline Campbell (scrapbook keeper).  We are hoping to get some new 4-H clothing with samples to try on at our next meeting, Nov. 10.  The club is very excited to be entering a new 4-H year and looks forward to sharing their experiences with the community.
