Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and area. Our Jan. 8 Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H meeting was a success!
I was very happy to see a bunch of new faces at the meeting.
We are now in our 100th year of 4-H in B.C. which started in 1914. The membership deadline this year is Friday, Jan. 31.
During our meeting I was given a lot of new information that I thought would be nice to share with all of you; starting with one of the more “recent” topics: speeches and demonstrations.
One thing all 4-H members are required to do is write a speech or demonstration and present it in front of a panel of judges and the fellow members of your club.
Junior speeches must be three to five minutes long and senior speeches are fie to seven minutes long.
A demonstration must be seven to nine minutes long for both juniors and seniors. Speeches and demonstrations for the Rose Lake/Miocene club will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at the Miocene hall.
Another thing our 4-H club likes to do is fundraise and volunteer to help out around our communities.
We do fun things like Stampede clean-ups, Father’s Day auctions, floats in the parade, and lots more.
I will make sure to inform you about the fundraisers as they happen. And if you see us around town, make sure to say hello.
You do not need to be a member in order to support 4-H.
Small things like showing up at meetings, helping out at fundraisers, or even spreading the word about 4-H is a very big support for our 4-H community.
And we appreciate every little thing that is done to help us.
Our next Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H meeting is on Wednesday, Feb. 12. I hope to see you there!
