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.
