Hollymount – Francesca Joella, Reporter
We started off our 4-H year right with this meeting. To start off, we sang our usual fun songs! They were great to get back in the 4-H spirit. Afterwards, we made our way over to where our meeting would take place. There, we got introduced to our officers for this year. We then proceeded to go over old business, including talking about the State Fair! When we were finished talking about all of our old business, we moved on to discussing new business. There are lots of exciting things coming up in our club! Links to Leadership, the Pumpkin Contest and Fall Retreat are just some of the exciting events. We are all very excited for our 4-H year to begin!
