Club Meeting
- Friday, January 10th, at the Kremmling Community Church, from 1-3 p.m.
- We’re going to try NEW changes in our meeting schedule!
- To help give us more time for a Cloverbud Camp Committee meeting following our business meeting, I would like to work with the Jr. Leaders for 20 minutes in preparation for Clover Time. Jr. Leaders, please arrive by 1:00 p.m. or earlier to help prep and set up.
- I am renaming Cloverbud Time to Clover Time - for all ages are welcome to come learn the Cowboy Ethics, play games, etc. Although the curriculum is focused for the younger kids (5-7), we have already seen that it contains good benefits for all ages.
- All members (non-Jr. Leaders) please arrive by 1:15 p.m., for Clover Time will begin at 1:20 p.m.
- Schedule
- 1:00 - 1:20 p.m. ~ Jr. Leaders prepare for Cloverbud Time (Bailey, Molly, Julie, Liberty, Ben)
- 1:20 - 1:50 p.m. ~ Clover Time! All club members welcome to come learn about optimism!
- 1:50 - 2:30 p.m. ~ Business Meeting
- 2:30 - 3:00 p.m. ~
- Cloverbud Camp Committee Meeting - Bailey, Molly, Liberty, Julie, Ben, Sierra, Jessica, Cameron, Audrey (?)
- Others are free to visit with one another, play, etc.
- To Mothers of Cloverbud Members: I am working hard to make our business meetings as short as possible, so that the younger members (ages 5-7) can learn to sit through them. CSU Extension wants us help the Cloverbuds learn to become active members of a club. I know it’s hard for them to sit through, and that’s why we meet at KCC - to give them a nearby play room, if they just cannot make it. If you must leave, I understand, but I just wanted you to be aware of the goal we are working toward (and it will take time). As we keep tweaking the process, things will smooth out and a flow will come into place that makes it easier for all. Thanks for bearing with me!
