The monthly meeting for the Homesteaders 4-H club was held Friday, September 11, 2015.
Liberty Mathis called the meeting to order at 1:28 p.m. Ben Mathis did the prayer. Audrey Wheatley read a devotion from Psalm 84:11 in the absence of Foster Krempin. Ben led the pledges in absence of Foster. Audrey said the roll call. Members responded with their favorite winter activity. There were 6 members and 2 parents. The July minutes will be read at the October meeting. Ben said the August bank statement has not yet arrived so no balances were given. Our club sold 260 boxes of peaches; we made $12 per box for a profit of $3,120. For pears we sold 61 boxes; we made $12 per box for a total of $732.
Old Business:
Thank you everybody for working hard on fruit sales and deliveries! You are AWESOME!
Congratulations to club members for a job well done on exhibit day, fair, and state fair!
New Business:
Shiloh French made a motion to reimburse Tish Linke for gas expense when she picked up the pears. Kenna Wall seconded the motion; the motion passed.
Ben made a motion to give Phil at Peachfork Orchards a $50 tip for delivering our final order of peaches. Shiloh seconded; the motion passed.
Julie Aprill’s thank you note in appreciation of her scholarship was read.
Audrey will draft a thank you letter to our Grand County supporters thanking them for supporting our fruit fundraiser.
The club signed a thank you letter to the McCalls for the $50 donation to our club.
It was suggested a fall field trip would be taken to Peachfork Orchards to pick up the apples and give members another opportunity to tour the Orchards if they missed in April. Parents will stay in contact and see if this is possible when the apples are ready in October.
If you want to be a club officer, email Shelly Mathis what you would like to be. Thank you to all the officers who served the club last year! You did great!
National 4-H week is October 4th-10th. Each family will make 2 dozen cookies that we will give out to supporters at the October meeting. Marcy Monnahan will order fall tray favors which will be made and delivered at the November meeting.
