Harbor Lights – Destiny Carmona, Reporter
Our meeting took place at Old Paths Church of Christ on December 8, 2014. Our club had a cookie contest. We had nine men from the church willing to judge our clubs cookies. They sure did take it seriously! Our winners were: Festivity- Noah Harrison, Most Unique- Elise Goehringer, Chocolaty-Dakota Carmona, Tasty- Daniel Jefferson, and Most Traditional Christmas Cookie- Destiny Carmona. On our meeting we planned that on December 21st we will be visiting the Lewes Nursing Home. Our club will be sharing with the residents some Christmas cookies, Christmas carols, and some crafts our club made. Also some of our members will be playing some songs at the nursing home. I hope to see you all at the 4-H skating party. Happy Holidays!

Seaford Blue Jays – Alyssa Thawley, Reporter
The Seaford Blue Jay Club members certainly seem very excited about all the activities that 4-H has sponsored as well as activities of their own! On November 15, 2014, Jill Koski attended the International Foods/Talent Show and made Mexican Wedding Cakes for her entry. Then, on November 26, 2014 the club came together and prepared holiday meals.  Each club member provided a traditional Thanksgiving dish and then delivered the dinners to local families. At the annual club Christmas party members created Christmas ornaments using cupcake liners, homemade cinnamon dough and ribbon.  The club also stuffed stockings with all types of dog treats and toys for a local animal shelter so even our furry friends had a treat from Santa. On December 27, 2014, 4-H will be holding their annual State Ice Skate at The Centre Ice Rink, each member must bring a canned good to enter the rink. The club is ready to start the 2015 year off right with success!

Lord Baltimore Helping Hands 4-H club has had a busy fall. The month of September was spent working on our window display. In October, we had a bonfire and painted pumpkins to donate, for our meeting. At our November meeting we decorated a wreath for Cheer and made tray favors, which we took to the Harrison House. At our December meeting, we shared a potluck dinner, had a gift exchange, collected toys for ‘toys for tots’ and made Christmas ornaments for Ms. Carlene.

For the older 4-hers, there is State Teen Conferences coming up. We also are looking forward to the winter fun day on January 31st . For our club craft we started making finger knit scarfs with yarn.  We had some much fun. We wish everyone a good month.

Erryn Smith called our first meeting of the new you with Mattie and Gabby leading the pledges. The secretary and treasurer’s report was read. When discussing old business our very own president, Laurie, and our secretary, Taylor, discussed the Christmas float. Taylor talked about the state skating party. After we finished old business we started on new business, Gabby talked about her topic she’s planning on speaking about during the public speaking contest. Everyone talked about what they are planning to make for favorite foods, and the older member explained to the younger members the rules. We all decided that winter craft night would be the time we would practice favorite foods. After finishing up old business we did a quick ice breaker and then looked at the results of our picture contest. Then we adjourned our meeting and ate snacks.

We had 7 club member sign up for the public speaking contest with the speeches that they already started during the meeting.All of you did a great job! Mrs. Natalie and Mrs. Sylvia made us all a tasty snowman snack. Thank you for the delicious snack. For our service project, we collected over 15 tubes of chapstick and 25 DVDS for the Code Purple shelter in Seaford. Don’t forget to sign up for the Favorite Foods Competition. At our next meeting we will be practicing how to set the table and present our menu and dish. Stay nice and cozy, hopefully it will snow soon!
