Post Banquet Report

There is a lot of info... so please bear with me and be sure to read all of it. :-) There are only 4 things to respond to ASAP, they are numbered.

The club banquet was wonderful. Awards were given, people were recognized, games were played then we chowed down on the AYCE pizza & salad buffet! Not too sure how many of the 4H members even noticed the salad on the salad bar.

Now to work on wrapping up this year in anticipation for the start of 2012!
1. First order of business is the election: Since I forgot the ballots at the banquet for the election everyone needs to vote electronically. How are we going to do this? I have looked at many ways but none have quite impressed me.
So I am asking each family to email to me their choices for the following two offices.
President: Skyler Klinedinst or Nathan Simms
Historian: Aria Flynn or Nathaniel Witmer
Please only select one for each office and only one vote per member per office.
We have 13 registered 4-H members at this point in time so I expect only 13 total votes per office.
The office of Treasurer will be held by Devin Hightman and the office of Secretary will be held by Desiree Witmer as they both ran unopposed. Congratulation!
Votes need to be to me by December 1st.

2. Last meeting of the year: I would like to have a meeting in December to announce our new officers, go over the club calendar for 2012 and see what all we as a club would like to do for next year. Here are dates I am offering up for the last meeting of the year, please pick one and if you would rather do it online in my online classroom or face to face(a location is to be determined, suggestions welcomed) Wed. Dec 14 @ 6:30, Fri. Dec 16 @6:30 OR Sat. Dec 17 at 2:30pm Please select one.

3. H.O.P.E. December Donation- Some members forgot to bring their H.O.P.E. donation to the banquet. Ms. Lily and I are collecting our club's donations so drop yours by either of our houses ASAP. Remember ask friends and family if they would like to help us with our club's donation box for H.O.P.E. We would like to make our delivery in the next couple weeks. Ms. Lily will be emailing some dates and times for taking our club's donations to H.O.P.E. before Christmas in the next couple weeks. We all do not need to go along but it would be nice if a few of us could go. It would be nice if each family could donate at least one item to our club H.O.P.E. donation box. Remember they take all sort of things to help these families dealing with cancer. This is a particularly hard time for these families. Let us show them that we care!

4. FARM SHOW: Those who got a gold or blue merit ribbon at the 4-H Fair for your project may enter your project in the PA Farm Show. The extension office usually takes up our projects, all we need to do is to register them online and get them to the extension office. If you are interested in entering your project contact me ASAP as the registration is now open. I will help you in the registering of your project and will let you know when you need to get your project to the extension office.

That's it! I will be looking for your emails and will be sending out an email with the meeting date and location as soon as everyone gets back with me.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and talk to you soon!
Ms. Jean
