Wawanosh 4-H Club holds jug washing fundraiser
Cleaning up
Members of the Wawanosh 4-H Club were busy at Edgar Feed and Seed with their Ivomec
Jug Fundraiser. Members scrubbed the jugs until they were clean and able to be recycled.

Meetings four and five of the
Wawanosh Twisted Mixers were
held on Aug. 12 at the Auburn Hall.
As everyone arrived, members were
instructed to work on their record
books. Eileen did a quick book
check to see how everyone was
progressing.
Many members did not have their
"Me" page included in their books
yet. To officially open the pie -
making meeting, President Jolande
Oudshoorn led the pledge and roll
call which was "What is your
favourite kind of pie?" Deanna
Haanstra then read the minutes from
meeting three and the club watched a
pie -making video in order to be
prepared for making their pies.
With the video watched, the club
was ready to start baking. Eileen
George led Maisy Jefferson, Gayle
Mcllhargey and Justin Morrison in
making a double -crusted blueberry

had a crumb crust and Mary Ellen
Foran led Loretta Higgins, Emma
Allenson and Amanda Morrison in
making tea biscuits.
As the biscuits were quicker to
make, that group got a head start for
their apple oat squares, which was a
recipe for the next meeting.
While the pies were still baking,
the members completed some book
work and read the better baking tips
to make a perfect pastry product. For
a little break, the club went outside
to play a game of spud. The
members returned inside and
reflected on how their pastry -making
experience went and what they had
learned. This was the first time many
of the members had tried to make a
pie on their own. Mary Ellen read
about different types of pies and
instructed members on what
activities had to be done before the
next meeting.
Jolande then led roll call for
meeting five, which was "What is
your favourite type of cookie?"
Mary Ellen talked about the different
types of cookies (drop, bar, rolled,
pressed, and molded), noting that
dropped cookies are the most
common.
Next, the club watched a video on
how to make crisp and delicious
chocolate chip cookies. The club
split into their baking groups again.
Marita's group continued to make
the filling for their apple oat squares.
While the baking was in the oven,
Cathy Drennan led the group in
reading "Plain Grain Talk" and
"Cereal Grains that Produce Flour"
and then had the members answer
some questions about that
information. Members then judged
some of the chocolate chip cookies
that had finished baking and cooled.
Mary Ellen reminded the club to
be working on their recipe log in
their books. Jolande closed the
meeting with the 4-H motto and the
members sampled all of the pastries
and cookies that had been made that
night.
The members reconvened the next
morning for their Ivomec Jug
Washing fundraiser at Edgar Feed
and Seed. Members worked through
the rain to scrub the jugs so that they
could be sent to be recycled.
The next meeting is Aug. 23 at
p.m. at the Auburn Hall.
