UNION CITY – On the evening of April 14, 2025 the Jackson Friendship 4-H club held a meeting in the MV Nest concession area. The meeting was called to order by Troy Lavy at 7:06 PM. Lavy also led the pledges. The roll call question was “What’s your favorite thing about spring?”
At this meeting, there was no secretary’s report, but there was a treasurer’s report. The club’s balance in our checking account is $1,006, and our savings account has $ 1,070.40. There was also a health and safety report at this meeting. The topic was to look out for tractors and farm machinery on the road.
The old business was to remind everyone to get their project books in at the extension office and register for Quality Assurance. Also, check the Darke County 4-H website for updates, entries and information.
The new business was to discuss whether we should get a new design for the t-shirts or keep the old one. After a small discussion, Anna Barga motioned to keep the same ones as last year, and that was seconded by Nick Barga. The motion was passed. We also discussed whether we should sponsor JR fair trophies. We talked about sponsoring every barn our members are in and the Showman and Showmen trophy. A motion was made by Clinton Linebaugh and seconded by Anna Barga to sponsor a trophy in every barn our club showed in, as well as put money toward the Showman of Showmen prize. The motion was passed. We reminded everyone that the 4-H camp is June 24-28 and costs $235. The club also talked about setting aside money for campers to cover a little bit of the cost. The motion for $50 per camper was made by Ava Neiport and seconded by Ashtyn Gower. The motion was passed.
The advisor reported that they would send out an email about tags and the deadline. Also, the skilliton schedule was on Facebook.
The club also had a race to name an animal for every letter of the alphabet and a paper airplane contest.
The next meeting will be held on May 12, 2025 at 7:00 PM in the MV Nest concession area.
The motion to adjourn was made by Emily Tomas and seconded by Anna Barga. The motion passed. The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 PM.
