Mikenda Farm 4H Club

KC motioned for the minutes to be approved and Cali seconded it. Mikayla gave the treasurers report and the club has $3,047.78.
Unfinished Business:
The club discussed the turn out for the Relay for Life second kickoff to recruit more teams and fundraiser that occurred earlier in the day. It was not a success. The club decided to do another fundraiser with the left over food from the failed event at Tractor Supply. The date for the fundraiser would be either Sunday, March 8th or Saturday, March 14th or maybe both. In hindsight, everyone agreed that the Christmas community Center is a rather out-of-the-way place and that the kickoff should have been held in a location where there would have been more chance “drop-bys”.
Liz talked about selling horse and dog treats at the upcoming Seminole County show at Clarcona. She handed out some horse cookie dough to be molded into cookies and baked.
New Business
Miss Brenda handed out the Central Florida Fair booklets. The club discussed this year’s theme, “Showtime”, and potential booth ideas. Designing and setting up a booth was explained to the new members. We tentatively set the date of April 13th for booth setup at the fair. Miss Brenda also reviewed for everyone all the categories of contests that 4H members can enter.
Dates were discussed for future meeting, formal and informal. It was decided that an official meeting would be held on March 8th, possibly after the Tractor Supply fundraiser. Before the meeting, from ~2-4pm Miss Brenda would hold a showmanship clinic for the club members and their horses. Then during the meeting from ~4-6pm members would work on their record and project books. An unofficial meeting on March 3rd was scheduled to brainstorm about booth ideas for the Central Florida Fair. Another meeting was scheduled for March 22 from 2-6 to work on the booth and project books . April 5th a formal meeting was scheduled for 3:30 or 4pm.
KC adjourned the meeting at 6:27pm.
