Gladstone 4-H Handiworkers

The first meeting for the Gladstone Handi-Workers 4-H club was held on Sept. 27 7:00pm at the United Church annex. Twenty-two members attended the first 4-H meeting of the year and about a half a dozen leaders. Head leader Kynda Pollard stated that 26 members enrolled so far. Some of this year’s 4-H projects include Smart Sitters, sewing, photography, crafts around the world, Cloverbuds, wood burning, wood working, and foods.

After a short discussion the 4-H members elected new executive for the club.  The executive members are as follows: James Yorke-Ashman as President; Ana Armitage as Vice President; Siobhan Yorke-Ashman as  Secretary; Mason Pollard as Treasurer; Joshua Yorke-Ashman as Historian (Scrapbook keeper); Morgan Campbell as Reporter.

A few willing members were involved in the SeCan event. SeCan donates a monetary amount to local 4-H clubs when members have their photo taken with certain SeCan signs. We are hoping that our club may receive $250 for this. A word of appreciation to SeCan seed growers for supporting 4-H.

Upcoming events for the club include our next meeting to be held at the United Church annex at 6:30pm on Oct. 29.  A pizza party for all members is being planned for Friday, Nov. 23 at 5:00pm. More details will be available at the October meeting.
