The February meeting was held at Neal and Emily Caylor’s house. Eleven members and three visitors were present. Our club made a basket to be auctioned off at the 4-H Awards Banquet. It sold for $50. Our club chose to sponsor games at the fair. We also voted to donate a “movie-themed” basket to the student councils “Hope for Haiti” fundraiser that will be held April 24.
Neal Caylor gave a presentation on how to switch light and cover faceplates. Emily Caylor gave a presentation on how to make a marble board maze game and an ice sculpture. Emily Moorman gave a presentation on making a fabric strip rug. Refreshments were served by Neal and Emily Caylor and Emily Moorman.
