Neepawa Belles, Beaux, and Builders 4-H Club
My name is Allison Beaumont. Ella Koshel and I will be your club reporters this year for the Neepawa Belles, Beaux, and Builders 4-H Club. A club reporter's job is to write for the newspaper.
Our first meeting was on Oct. 5 at the public library. We voted for our officers. The president is Robyn Newsome. The vice-president is Delaney Newsome. The secretary is Jenna Beaumont. Our treasurer is Claire Tominiko. Our scrapbookers and banner scanners are Abi Plett and Cecilie Holm. Ella and I are the club reporters.
We decided to buy club t-shirts for all the members. We talked about donations our club got from the community. We talked about upcoming events like our next meeting and the Remembrance Day Parade. Thanks to Mrs. Sumner for being the head leader.
The members are doing projects such as Exploring Machines, Fins, Feathers, and Fur, Discover Foods, Pick-a-topic, Adventures in 4-H and Cloverbud Project. We have 28 members.
A special thank-you to Liz Sumner's family for donating a Cloverbud plaque for communications night, the library for the use of their facility, Kinley Thompson Chartered Accountants Inc. for photocopying, and the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op for donating $50.
We had a second business meeting on Nov. 2. We talked about the Wear Your Colors campaign, the Remembrance Day Parade, and we got our books and t-shirts.
Our next meeting will be on Dec. 7 at 7 pm in the back room of the Neepawa Public Library.

4-H Happy Rock Horseshoes
On Nov. 3, the Happy Rock Horseshoes 4-H Club held their first meeting at the Westbourne Longburn Community Centre. Twelve members were present. We welcomed two new members. Our head leaders are Terri Hall and Stephanie George.
At the meeting, we elected our new officers. Our president is Jodie Davis and vice president is Cassidy George. The secretary is Megan Hall and the treasurer is Kaitlyn Davey. The banner scanner is J’lyn Funk and I, Madison Teichroeb, am the club reporter.
We reviewed the 4-H Code of Conduct and went over the expectations for each member. Terri Hall showed us the new 4-H logo! The 4-H clover now has a maple leaf in the center.
After the formal meeting, we played a few games. In the first game, our small groups were challenged to make the tallest tower with uncooked spaghetti noodles, marshmallows and painters tape. In the second game, we had to use our feet to get as many marbles as possible out of a bin of soybeans in one minute. The games were a lot of fun and also taught us teamwork and concentration.
Our Christmas party will be held on Dec. 12 at 2:00 pm. After a meeting and some time for book work, we will have some games and a potluck supper.
I am excited for the new 4-H year! I’m sure everyone else is too!
