February 11th Club Meeting

 Our club meeting for the entire club will be Feb 11th 6:30pm at the AJ Multi Gen center. 

At our last horse project meeting we had a few members present a horse demonstration on a topic they selected about horses. We have a few that will need to present at our Feb 11th meeting so I have decided to open it up to the remaining club members. So those that are in lamb, swine, holstein calf or if you maybe have an interest in a future project please plan a demonstration speech to share at the February meeting. 

(Remember this is a great thing to list in your record book) Especially when it comes time to apply for

 4-H scholarships. The more active you are within your club the better chance you have to be successful obtaining scholarships.

Below is a list to some great topics for a demonstration speech.
