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. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2015. PAGE 27.
