Rosendale 4-H
December Meeting
The Rosendale 4-H club met on Sunday, December 8, 2024 at Peace Lutheran Church. We started the meeting by choosing ornament styles and painting them.
After pledges and the secretary’s report, we talked about Angel Tree Shopping. We were unable to find a local family to support for the holidays, so we voted on participating in Toys for Tots or donating to the Brandon Food Pantry. We decided to shop for Toys for Tots and make the donation at Fleet Farm.
Then, we talked about having members sign up for the winter fundraiser at Culver’s, which is scheduled for Tuesday, January 14 from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. 10% of the sales from the night will go to our club for use in further supporting the community.
We then talked about donating to Peace Lutheran Church to allow us to use their facility during the year for our meetings. We decided to donate $100.00.
We reminded members to watch for Family Learning Day sign up which is set for February 22.
Following the meeting, we took a photo of our member’s donations for Sandi Paws.
Our next meeting will be at 5 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church on Sunday, January 5, 2025. IT WILL BE NEXT YEAR! We will be learning how to decorate cookies for the meeting. Submitted by: Reporter Eli C.
