Rosendale 4-H Club: October 6, 2024 

The Rosendale 4-H club met on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at Rose-Eld Farms. During the meeting, members made boxes with ingredients to make birthday cakes to celebrate 4-H week with “Make & Deliver” for the Brandon Food Pantry.

The club selected October 20 as the date to help rake leaves to assist residents in the village. We have five families in our club signed up to help make a difference in the community! 

After the meeting, the members carved pumpkins and had a hayride. The club’s next meeting will be Sunday, November 3 at noon at Peace Lutheran Church. Members are asked to bring a dish to pass for the potluck and awards banquet, as well as canned goods to donate to the Brandon Food Pantry.
