January 11th, 2010 Horses Rock 4-H Membership Meeting Time: 7:00-8:00 Old School House   Draft of Minutes   As president, Hannah McVaney called the meeting to order at 7:00. El led us in the pledge of allegiance and 4H pledge. Our secretary, Wendy, took attendance and noted that there were 5 High School members, 6 Middle School members, and 2 Elementary School members, adding to a total of 13 members. New Members Hannah introduced 3 new members to us; Meaghan Elliot, Gabrielle Redding, and Lauren Redding. Key Chains At the next 4H meeting every member is required to bring horsehair as we are making beaded, horsehair key chains. Each member will make 2 or more; one to keep and the others to sell as a fundraiser at the play day. The beads and everything except the hair will be provided. Community service There will be a trash cleanup on Saturday January 24th. Fundraiser We are thinking about doing a fundraiser every 2 months or so. We could sell home baked cookies, chocolate bars baring the 4H logo, water bottles with the 4H logo, or lollipops. If you have any other ideas please share them at the next meeting. 4-H t-shirts There will be hunter green and/or sky blue t-shirts with Jack's logo on the back and the 4-h clover on the front. If we can raise enough money we can also have sweatshirts. Play Day The play day will be Western themed and take place on either April 10th or April 11th. There will be a salsa making contest and the entry fee will be $25. The winner will receive half of the entry money. At the play day there will be a silent auction and we will be selling the horse hair key chains. If everyone could donate one item for the silent auction and price it that would be great. It doesn't have to be Western themed. Also, everyone is welcome to bring along their friends and family. Signal Hill Every Wednesday, there are 4H riding lessons at 5:30. Every week the lesson is about something different. All members are welcome to join these weekly lessons.   Hannah adjourned our meeting at 8:00.
