UPCOMING SALES By Kayla Drennan The second meeting of the “Wawanosh Sporting Chance Life Skills Club” was held on Monday, Feb. 18 at the Falls Reserve Conservation Area at Benmiller. The 4-H members and parents met at the church parking lot to get into groups before entering the Falls Reserve Conservation Area at Benmiller. Sierra Lamb of Farm Credit Canada presented the club with a cheque for $500, which they received through the Farm Credit Canada 4-H Club Fund. These funds will help Wawanosh 4-H members “Learn to Do By Doing” by allowing them to experience many different winter activities throughout this club. Once all the groups had checked in at the Falls Reserve Conservation Area, the 4-H members, leaders and some parents put on snowshoes and formed three different groups. Before everyone left to snowshoe on one of the trails set out by Falls Reserve Conservation Area, President Austin Bieman led the 4-H pledge. While snowshoeing, members saw a deer and remnant ice from the high-water levels in the Maitland River. Everyone enjoyed snowshoeing but was tired and ready for a rest. When everyone arrived back at the Falls Reserve Conservation Area clubhouse, the members enjoyed a hotdog, popcorn and hot chocolate. Austin led roll call which asked members what they should wear and what they should bring while snowshoeing. The club closed the meeting with the motto. The first meeting of the “Wawanosh Sporting Chance Life Skills Club” was held on Friday, Feb. 15 at the Belgrave Community Centre. The club leaders, Eileen George and Mary Ellen Foran, welcomed the 4-H members as they arrived. The leaders also handed out 4-H participation forms. As we waited for all members to arrive, Reba Jefferson, another leader, organized the “Fruit Basket” game with the 4-H members. At 7 p.m., the 4-H members headed to the dressing room to change before heading on to the ice for broomball. Mary Ellen and Reba then ran some broomball drills so that members could get use to running and stopping on the ice, passing the ball to a partner and shooting the ball on the net. Reba then divided the 4-H members into two teams to play a broomball game. Mary Ellen explained a few game rules. The rules are similar to hockey, so the members were quick to catch on to the game. The 4-H members actively participated and enjoyed the game. At 8 p.m., the Club gathered upstairs in the arena for club business. Eileen distributed the club manuals. After the 4-H members said the 4-H motto, Mary Ellen ran the election of officers. The results were as follows; President, Austin Bieman; Vice-President, Deanna Haanstra; Press Reporter, Kayla Drennan; Secretary, Ally Riegling and Attendance Recorder, Emily Bieman. Austin then led the roll call that was: “Do you know someone that plays broomball? What game is broomball similar to?” Most members knew someone who played broomball and thought broomball was similar to hockey or lacrosse. Eileen provided snacks and then Austin adjourned the meeting. A big boost Sierra Lamb of Farm Credit Canada met up with members of the Wawanosh 4-H Club on the trails in order to hand over a grant of $500 to help the club with its activities this year. Farm Credit Canada annually helps out local clubs through the Farm Credit Canada 4-H Club Fund. (Photo submitted) Your Local Paper - The Original Social Media!
