Meeting two of the 4-H Dancing
Divas was held on Aug. 31 at 7 p.m.
at the home of Mary Ellen Foran.
They started the meeting with
moving around and playing dance
tag.
Eileen and Kristina showed the
CC Slide.
Kristina opened the meeting with
the pledge. Roll call was “Describe
your favourite way of moving or
dancing”. Answers varied from
sports to figure skating to just
dancing to the music or a specific
dance.
Cathy handed out a crossword for
members to do. Eileen split
members into groups of two or three.
They had to do a little bit of research
about a dance from the book. After
15 minutes, members had to tell the
rest of the club members the
important facts about the dance and
show them three steps. The different
dances were: jazz/tap, modern,
line/square dancing, hip-hop/break
dancing. Members who read about
modern and hip-hop/break dancing
were paired together whereas
jazz/tap and line/square dancing
were paired together. The groups had
to make up a dance to music using
six different dance steps from the
different dance and to repeat the
steps four times.
Members then wanted to practise
the CC Slide again.
Cathy talked about the 4-H Day at
the Western Fair.
Kristina closed the meeting with
the motto. Snacks were provided by
Maisy and Ellen Jefferson.

Michael Ignatieff for instance,
everyone gets up in arms because
suddenly I’m featuring a Liberal and
not a Tory and vice versa, so we
actually try to avoid it,” he said.
“But next week we’re joining
every leader on their tour and when
we join the tours it’ll be our behind-
the-scenes coverage of the
campaign. We’ll shoot everything
you’re not supposed to shoot.”
Mercer encourages Canadians to
get out and vote, to get involved and
make an informed decision. Too
often, he said, decisions involving
the leadership of a country are made
on flimsy points and uninformed
viewpoints.
“I hope people will watch the
debates too, I think that’s key. All of
the parties, they’re all guilty of this,
essentially treat the election like
idiots, like they’re consumers, like
they’re just trying to sell the voters
something and they might want to
sell them the platform, but they
know it’s just easier to inundate
them with negative commercials and
30-second sound bytes,”
Tips from the pros
