This is the start to the new 4-H year. I am in two clubs, the Ropes N' Reins club and the Shooting Stars club. Ropes N' Reins meets once a month on the first Monday. Shooting Stars meets every other Thursday. Before going to the county fair in July, there are a lot of things that need to happen first. To start off the year, each of the club's needs to select new officer's. So we dedicate a meeting for choosing new offices. Everyone needs to give a small speech on why they would be good for the office they are running for. At the end of this process, I got to be the Treasurer in my Ropes N' Reins club and the Assistant Treasurer in my Shooting Stars club. I was glad that I got to hold an office in each club.
The next thing that we have to do is run meetings and prepare for the upcoming fair. We have to decide which books and extras everyone wants to take to fair. Then we have to decide on a booth theme and how we are going to decorate it. Once we find that out, we have to see who is bringing what materials and when we should meet to set up the booth for the fair. After that, we may want to do some extra things for our club's. For instance, we should decide if we are going to try to make our club an honors club. Shooting Stars is already an honors club and the advisers take care of all of the work. Since one of my club's is an honors club, I wanted Ropes N' Reins to be an honors club as well. So I gathered up all of the paper work and throughout all of the meetings I collected officer reports. We also went on a field trip and we collected food for the local food bank for our honors club requirements. Then I put all of the information together in a book. This will then be shipped off to the Franklin County Extension Office. We will know if we got the honors club in the fall. This year in 4-H I wanted to set goals for myself. I want to be a better leader, so I joined the county Junior Fair Board and the Teen Leaders Council. I also won a scholarship to go to a Buckeye Leadership Workshop in April so that I can boost my leadership skills. I also want to make my club an honors club. I think that we are capable of doing this. All we need is someone to lead the club into having the requirements completed and the finished book turned in. These are my goals and I cannot wait for the year to come.
