Making Butter at Foods Project Meeting
What’s better than BUTTER? Last week at the Foods project meeting, members made butter and then got to sample the creation.
Foods Project Meeting / January 2, 2023
Are you enrolling in a Foods project for the 2023 4-H year or considering enrolling in a Foods project? Come check out the Foods project meeting this Monday night, January 2 at 6:00 p.m. at the McKee Building.
Amy Gebhardt is leading the group and on the agenda is the butter-making experiment found in the manual. We will then sample the experiment with bread!
This will be a good opportunity to discuss the units offered in the Foods project and decide which one to enroll in.
Club News for November 19
Thank You!
First, Cindy would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes, flowers, and cupcakes at the club meeting. It was very special and appreciated.
Welcome!
I would also like to welcome all the new families who attended the meeting last Monday. We look forward to your membership and participation.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to all the 2021–2022 High Country Handiworkers who completed their projects. Our club members completed another successful year—a job WELL DONE!
Pick Up Projects by December 10
For those who did not attend the November meeting, I will bring your completion certificates and projects to the club meeting one last time in December. If I have your fair project, it would be helpful if you would come by our business, Construction Supply House at 806 North 2nd Street in Berthoud, and pick it up prior to the December meeting. It is a lot to load and unload. If I still have projects following the December 5th meeting, those projects will be disposed of on December 10th. I simply don’t have the space to store projects.
Food Project Meeting
Foods will meet on December 5th prior to the club meeting starting at 6:00 p.m.
December Meeting
Reminder, the December Club meeting has changed to December 5. We will be doing a club community service project, so it’s very important to attend. A community service project is required of every club member. Returning members: please sign up for a demonstration. We will also be holding officer elections.
