First, the club opened with the pledge. Next, the club did roll call which was, "would you rather be a feather or a rock and why?" Then members took up the minutes from the last meeting. After that, members looked at the quilt block for the IPM quilt and the club title page that other members made. Members then voted for their favourite later in the meeting. Continuing, each member of the club went around in a circle saying the name of his/her sheep and its breed. Then, the members talked about the feed samples they brought in, how much the lambs should be eating a day, what types of feed lambs need and what not to feed them. Then, the club members were given a partner and went to either judge breeding ewes or went to play a trivia game. When both groups were done, they switched jobs. After that time, the club came together and adjourned the meeting with the 4-H motto and snacks. For the next meeting, members are going on a field trip. Work on barn business continues in Brussels Continued from page 16 past week when the crane arrived to put the top on the silo and lift the beams in place for the barn. It started on Tuesday morning and by evening Brussels had made the news and is on the map. Good progress was made during the week and people can now envision better what it will look like. We hope work continues well as everyone is anxious to see the finished product in the village.

(Shawn Lou gn/fn photo) WI global church service held Members of the Huron Perth District Women's Institutes held their Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) church service on April 30 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Brodhagen. Deb Elligsen led the service and welcomed everyone. Lorianne Schmidt and Elinor Cook had scripture readings. Winnie Trachsel introduced the guest speaker, Ken Waglar, who has devoted his time to drilling new wells in Zambia, and Andrah Pradesh, in eastern India. Ken and his family are farmers in Perth County and in 1979 they were devastated by the Woodstock tornado. It had a profound effect on their family as they realized the difference volunteer help can make in times of disaster and hardship, thus began their mission work in Caribbean and Central America. After visiting Zambia in 1997, Ken saw the desperate need for a good supply of clean drinking water and as a result the purchase of a small drilling machine was made and 20 years later he is still doing that. By 2017 there have been 150 wells drilled in remote villages and on mission stations where the only source of water has been the crocodile -infested Zambezi River. The depth of the wells depends on the soil and Ken uses a water wand to locate water sources. When the villagers' new well is working they perform a "water" happy dance. Ken showed slides from his trips and answered questions from the audience. Mary McTavish thanked Ken for his presentation. The collection will be divided between the ACWW "Water for ALL" project and to MSC Canada towards the Zambia well drilling fund. Members of the Huron Perth District provided lunch following the service. BRUSSELS LIVESTOCK Division of Gamble & Rogers Ltd.
