By Reba Jefferson The first meeting of Wawanosh 4- H, A Walk on the Wild Side, was on Friday, March 27 at the Jefferson house. The meeting began with the junior leaders organizing a game in which the 25 members could learn each other’s names. Next, leader Mary Ellen Foran opened the meeting with the pledge and introduced the other leaders, Eileen George, Lorraine McIlhargey and Marita Oudshoorn. Roll call asked members what was the highest point of land within 15 km. of the meeting location. Many members did not know but some good guesses were made. The election of officers was held, with Ellen Jefferson being elected as president, Meagan Higgins as vice- president, Jolande Oudshoorn as secretary, and Reba Jefferson and Kathleen Stennett sharing the job of press reporter. At the stretch break the junior leaders led the members in a game of Knights, Horses and Cavaliers. Members had fun while playing and were then ready to continue on with more business. Members then took turns reading aloud about maps. They learned they could find high points of land from topographical maps and how to read them. The members cut up cones to show how topographical maps worked. As an introduction to judging, members worked in groups to judge hiking shoes. Mary Ellen then talked to the junior members of the requirements of the club and Eileen spoke to the senior members about their project. Mary Ellen closed the meeting with the motto and the club enjoyed snacks. The next meeting is on April 3 at the Jeffersons’ for a hike. Wawanosh 4-H Club takes ‘A Walk on the Wild Side’ What a slice It was the annual Huron County Beef Producers night at the Brussels arena on Saturday as they held their dinner and dance. Matt Shortreed was on cutting duty in the kitchen in preparation for the hungry feasters.
