Green Valley Recognizes Members & Leaders

Green Valley 4-H Club had a busy November 13 meeting which was held at Rolling Meadows Dairy Barn at 6:30pm. We had our Parents Night with a potluck. The club had a short meeting followed by recognizing our new members, installing officers, handing out club awards and finally recognizing our leaders for their years of service. We are honored to have such dedicated leaders!! Fran Trewin had the opportunity to recognize her husband, George and her daughter, Jodi during the presentations.

Our next meeting will be December 11, 2023. We will begin the night with a community service project- ringing bells at Fleet Farm from 5-6pm. We will then move to Rolling Meadows Dairy Barn to have a short meeting and holiday party. This will begin at 6:30pm.

Art Camp at Upham Woods
I just recently went to an overnight arts camp located in Wisconsin Dells at Upham Woods on November 18-19. I learned how to do needle felting, visual arts, photography, and I learned how to make a skit, etc. There was a dance, a bonfire, and entertainment by the counselors (which was hilarious). I made lots of new friends, one of whom lives close to me. It was the most fun I’ve had all year. I will DEFINITELY be going back next year. YAY FUN!
