On March 30 Erin’s latest 4-H project was launched: photography.
New members saw parliamentary procedure for the first time, one of the skills every member would absorb.
The meeting began with introductions, a recap of what the senior club accomplished the previous year: a book documenting old barns in Erin.
That set the bar high for current members, but the projects for the 2012 club are individually-based, as opposed to the group effort of 2011 club.
The evening progressed to the skill section, during which every member was taught basic rules of photography, and how to manipulate a digital camera.
The rest of the evening was spent playing with newfound skills and snapping shots of nearly every inch of leader June Switzer’s family home.
The evening was spent in a welcoming, engaging environment, members have come to associate with 4-H clubs across the county. In the true 4-H spirit, it was full of “learning to do by doing.”
