The Eramosa 4-H Beef Club held its first meeting of 2011 at the farm of Allan Wallace on April 20.
To start the meeting, a get-to-know-each-other game was played. There are 11 members, including two new ones.
The elections for officers were held and senior member Edward Wallace was elected-president; Allison Wallace is voted president; Danielle Nyman is appointed secretary; and Luke Hannam is press reporter.
The leaders of the Eramosa Beef Club are Allan Wallace, Jeanine Moyer, Scott Bessey, and Ryan Schill. Bessey and Wallace informed the members the focus of the club will be learning about beef nutrition.
Members and leaders discussed the opportunity of a field trip to further learn about that for the July meeting. Member Kayla Scott raised the question about fundraising opportunities this year. A few different options were discussed and will be explored.
The club will continue to hold its fundraising barbecue at the 4-H Beef Achievement Day at the Fergus Fall Fair.
Three club members, Edward Wallace, Valerie Wallace, and Nyman will be a part of a 4-H exchange to northern Saskatchewan this July. They hosted a fundraising bake sale at the Wellington County Beef barbecue on May 14 at the Alma community hall.
The next meeting of the club was May 12 at the home of Bessey at 7pm.
