This past May 14, we held a 4-H
meeting. We opened our meeting
with the 4-H pledge.
After the pledge Kathy Bridge
asked us to make a list of what we
would take on a two week vacation
in Florida so that when we did go
on a vacation we knew what to
take. Then we each took turns
reading our list. After we were
finished we read from the section
"Travel Checklist."
After that we discussed what we
did during the day and made a
"Time Pie", to help us organize our
lives better.
We also organized little skits so
we would learn how to solve
problems peacefully.

Marion Feldskov introduced
Carol Helfenstein editor of the
Teeswater and Clifford
newspapers, who spoke on the
day's theme "Our Communities
Need Everyone." She quoted a
speaker she once heard - "It's an
inconvenience, it's not the end of
the world." The weather this spring
has been a problem but if the seed
is in the ground, it will grow,
bloom and go ahead. She said she
believes Canada has an exciting
future and problems will be solved.
She feels Canadian students have
better technological training than
any others in the world. "You can't
live in a community and not be part
of it," she said. People of a
community with goals can make
anything happen. "There's funds
out there that just need to be
cranked to the right project. Even
with the cutbacks, projects can be
completed if people really want to
make them happen."
