When all the members arrived, the club opened with the 4-H pledge. Then, the club did roll call which was, "What's your name and if you were a superhero what colour would your cape be?" Next, the members played a game where they had a card pinned on their back and had to ask other members yes -or -no questions to figure out what the card said. Once members found out what their card was, they had to find someone that had the same card as they did. After, the club held elections. The results are: Emily Bieman, president; Alycia Coultes, vice- president; Jessalyn Hendricks, secretary and Austin Bieman, press reporter. Next, the club talked about important club dates. The club then judged stuffed sheep. Finally, the club enjoyed snacks. The next meeting is on May 11 at the Todd family farm. offer.
