Brandon Tanagers Welcomes New Members
The Brandon Tanagers held their October monthly meeting. New members and those interested in joining 4-H were invited to attend. While Mother Nature didn’t cooperate for a fall hayride and bonfire, we were still able to have the meeting, play some volleyball, and have some snacks. It was great to see some new faces!
It’s still not too late to join 4-H. If you are interested, please contact us at brandontanagers@gmail.com or talk with a family who is already involved with 4-H. Our next meeting is Monday, November 8 at Brandon School from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.

Reward for Club minutes & News SubmissionsI am challenging all clubs and chartered groups to submit Club minutes and News to the office. All clubs who submit minutes from monthly club meetings will be eligible for a grand prize drawing. This grand prize will be a celebration for the club, for example, an ice cream or pizza party.
To be eligible for the grand prize, the clubs must submit monthly meeting minutes from October 2021 to September of 2022. Club news and minutes can be submitted here. If a club doesn't have a meeting during a month, they can simply send an email to Tracy stating this, or make note of that in the minutes that are submitted. Clubs can still submit October minutes!

County-wide Officer TrainingFourteen youth joined by a few adult volunteers learned the parts of a meeting and how to work as an officer team and participated in activities, they can take back to their clubs. TLA members led a few ice breakers and "get to know you" activities to start off the morning. The youth and adults learned about 3 parts of a 4-H meeting and how to build them into their club meetings. Groups shared many ideas with each other. Clubs represented were: Armstrong, Brandon Tanagers, Campbellsport, Green Valley, Helping Hands, and Taft 23. Pictured: Youth playing a game called Tap Out and Ron Jakubisin, Positive Youth Development Educator, leading some team-building exercises. The youth learned about the officer roles and how to work together to effectively run a club. The youth finished up the morning with Pizza from Jets, while they evaluated the morning. If you missed this opportunity and would like officer materials for your club, please reach out to Tracy Keifenheim.
