March 12 was the day that 4-H delegates from the region met in the Vermilion Curling Rink for a day of fun curling. Some of us had never curled before, but by the end of the day we were all looking forward to next year. Our club hosted District Curling. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so much fun and to the 40 businesses who donated prizes for everyone. We all walked away with a special gift and enjoyed a pizza lunch.

February's meeting starting with a slide show and presentation by Mr. Dow. He gave us tips of how to take care of our lambs, what to look for when picking out our lambs, and the differences between different breeds. It was fun and we all learned a lot. Our upcoming Public Speaking is just around the corner, and all members are preparing for the big night on February 18.
Sincerely,
Ashley

On December 19 our 4-H members enjoyed an afternoon skate on an outdoor rink followed by a potluck supper at The Corbiere's house. We were glad to have Sarah join us and everyone had fun with the Chinese Gift Exchange. Slurping away in our jello eating contest was a hoot. That's all for now. Talk to you in the New Year!!
Merry Christmas!
Sincerely,
Ashley

The Northeast Region Volleyball Tournament was held on December 5. Our club had a slow start, but in the end we finished 5th. We won the consolation final. There was 16 teams, including a mystery team. It was lots of fun to see other 4-H delegates we had met from camp and to play with our own club members. Can't wait until next year.
Sincerely,
Ashley

On November 18th we met in Islay for an Executive Workshop. There was delegates from other local clubs. The introduction game on how to meet others was a lot of fun. I think we all walked away having learned something new about the position we hold on our Clubs Executive.
Sincerely,
Ashley
