IPM County Plovers learn meeting planning
Mix and match
The 4-H IPM County Plowers held their second meeting
last month in Clinton and one of the activities that day was
to match good planning practices together. Here, from left,

best at the match game. (Photo submitted)
By Grace Hallahan
The second meeting of the 4-H
IPM County Plowers was held on
May 10 at the OMAFRA office in
Clinton at 7 p.m. After all the
members arrived, they were formed
into five groups, then they each said
something that the group all had in
common, such as "we all like the
IPM" and "we all love animals".
After we went around saying all that
we had in common we took a picture
for The Citizen for their IPM series.
President Brooklyn Hendriks
opened the meeting with the 4-H
pledge then did roll call: "what are
you looking forward to in this club?"
Most members answered that they
are excited to help out in the 4-H tent
at the 2017 IPM.
Then the club got on to business.
Jessalyn Hendriks gave the press

report, followed by the treasurer's
report made by Austin Bieman. So
far the club has sold 51 IPM bows to
go towards purchasing club
t -shirts to wear at the IPM.
Then they passed it on to the
leaders. Jolande Oudshoorn applied
for the 4-H Connecting Canadians
Fund sponsored by Canada 150,The
Government of Canada,
TransCanada and McDonald's
Canada. Reg Vinnicombe applied for
the Journey 2050 sponsored by
Agrium to help out with the 4-H tent
costs at the 2017 IPM and luckily the
club got them both.
Next members got into groups and
played a matching game learning
about planning an event. Then, they
brainstormed about what we
could have in our 4-H tent such as a
photo booth, history facts about
Huron County 4-H, a livestock
display and a seed activity.
After each group got to present their
ideas.
Next members went outside to
play rock, paper, scissors, football.
Everyone had a blast. Then they
travelled back inside to have snacks
while the leaders summarized all the
activities that they would have in the
tent.
The next meeting is going to be
held June 14 at the OMAFRA office
in Clinton at 7 p.m.
Pizza Club marks achievement
By Katrina Gubelmann
What a great achievement day!
The Grey Township Pizza Lovers
4-H received an awesome tour of the
Pizza Train kitchen in Seaforth. The
owners, Ross and Phyllis Chisholm,
showed members how they made
their pizzas, how they make their
own pizza dough from scratch, how
they grated the mozzarella cheese
and how they used their oven.
Members got to try their hands in
all of these steps, then they got to
make their own delicious personal
pizza.
While waiting for their pizzas to
come out of the oven, Phyllis had
members do a word search
competition, first place was
Courtney Gubelmann; second,
Lerissa Stevenson and third, Nicole
Alexander. The prizes were
candy.
President Kyle Stevenson then
thanked Ross and Phyllis for such an

exciting achievement day and
presented them with a 4-H bag and
some IPM Beautification Bows that
they can use to decorate their
restaurant or home. The members of
the pizza club would also like to
thank the Grey Township 4-H
leaders for the awesome 4-H
sweaters that were given to the
members at the achievement day.
The sweaters and supplies, like
project books and pizza ingredients

generous donations from our

families.
What a great achievement day for
