The Citizen, 2015-05-07, Page 27The first meeting of the Ontario
Fruit and Vegetable Club was held
on Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m. at the
Jefferson family house. The meeting
was opened with the 4-H Pledge.
Mary Ellen Foran gave a brief
explanation of the club and what
members could expect in the weeks
to come. Next, Mary Ellen had the
members pair up with someone they
did not know and then find out five
things about that person to present to
the club. The members then
introduced their partner to the other
club members.
The election of officers was held
next. Maisy Jefferson was elected as
club president and volunteered to be
press reporter. Jolande Oudshoorn
was selected to be vice-president.
Clarissa Gordon volunteered to be
the cover designer and Amanda
Morrison volunteered to be the
attendance recorder. It was decided
that the club would have a rotating
secretary with members who were
not on the executive each taking a
turn writing the meeting minutes.
Maisy then led roll call.
Members turned to the self-
evaluation in the book to determine
if they had eaten the required
servings of fruits and vegetables
today and Eileen George went on to
discuss the Food Guide. As a break
from sitting, members headed
outside to play a game of mushball.
After a couple of eventful innings,
the leaders called the members back.
Members sat and completed an
activity about snacking and the
leaders introduced their take-home
activity which is to record snacks for
three days. Members were then
broken into groups to make snacks.
Three groups were assigned to cut
up fruit, while one group whipped
up a fruit dip. Once the fruit was cut
and their area was cleaned up,
members completed a judging
activity led by Cathy Drennan. Four
potential shoes were ranked by the
members based on their practicality
as proper shoes to wear while
gardening. Members presented
reasons as to why they placed the
shoes in the order that they chose. As
member completed the judging,
members chose a pack of seeds that
they are to plant as a club project.
Seed possibilities included lettuce,
radish, beet, bean and pea. Members
were also given mystery wild
flower seeds to plant. Maisy
closed the meeting with the 4-H
Motto.
The members then enjoyed their
snack of strawberries, cantaloupe
and apples with ambrosia fruit dip.
While they were snacking Mary
Ellen reminded the members that the
next meeting will be held at the
Wingham Community Garden and
that members should dress and
select footwear accordingly.
The next meeting of the club
will be held on Tuesday, May 12, at
7 p.m.
