Our next meeting will be on
Tuesday, June 14th from 9 a.m. till noon at the library basement. If your daughter
can�t make it, please call me ASAP.
All demonstrations need to be done by this date! If not, they will do one
on the spot. I will also be handing out fresh record books and any photos and
hand-outs that I have. We will be using the time to copy the information that
should be in your daughter�s books up until now, into fresh, clean books. I will
also be signing off the check-off lists. I would like to have the books
completely finished by the end of this meeting. They can be turned in that day
or no later than July 30th. I know this seems early, but time will
really start flying now that school�s out and I know several members are in
other projects. So the quicker we get ours done, the better. Please help your
daughter with her story and with rewording what we did at the meetings. Some of
the younger members might need help with the expense page too. We will also be
checking out the club website.
As for July, it looks like most of the members will be out of town. If
those still here want to do something, I�m willing. I just need to know ASAP.
Also if they want to do some type of booth for a few hours after the parade, we
can do that, too. If any members want to get together and have a tack making
session, that can be arranged. I know the younger girls would like to make
Western saddles. July will be a busy month for every one so it looks like we�ll
just be doing an informal tack-making day.
As for the �Abaco Barb
Youth Project,� it�s beginning to take hold. A gal in
New
Jersey,
Allie, did her county speech/demonstration on the Abaco Horses and one of the
judges was a writer for the Horse News over there. She did an article about the
horses, Allie�s project and our project. I was also contacted about doing an
article on Model horses for John Lyon�s Perfect Horse. So, the word is getting
out.
On October 8th we will be hosting a Breyer Day at King�s. This
will be during National 4-H Week so we need to start planning that
event.
CAMPS **** I will be at the
state horse camp in Alpine, WY July 12th � 16th. This is a
fun camp and everyone is eligible to go with or without their horses. Also the
Salmon Horse Camp will be July 24th � 27th. ALL MODEL HORSE CLUB MEMBERS ARE
ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND THE SALMON HORSE CAMP. If interested in this camp or
the state camp, check early with the 4-H Office to get an
application.
There is also a general 4-H camp on July 12-15 at the Boulder Mountain
Youth Camp. Check with the 4-H Office for information on this event.
I will be at the Custer County Fair Aug. 1st �
6th. We should have a
quick last-minute, fair prep meeting after that. For fair members are also
encouraged to do a scene for our club display. The scenes will be judged. We
have 5-gallon aquariums to cover the models so they aren�t disturbed. These will
be provided. The scenes must fit in that space. We also have a free-standing
case that houses our general club display and anything the girls want to add.
Since our Capella model was introduced this year, I�d like to have a special
display on the club and our projects. So the girls need to be thinking up what
they want to do and we will meet one evening before fair to set things up. I�m
not sure right now when we are scheduled to do that. We also need to do a club
poster. I have a collection of photos and things from throughout the year that
the girls can use to make the poster.
Also
at the fair is the speech and demonstration contest. I highly encourage all club
members to try this. Last year the club was well represented as all three
members entered and did very well.
Most everyone is very close to being finished. Some of the things need to
be done at home, like read a book or watch a video. Please encourage and help
her to finish these requirements before the June meeting. If they are in the
horse club, they can do the same demonstration for the model club and the
horse club. They just have to do it at both club meetings. And, since they
would have had so much practice, they could do it at the fair,
too!
Please call me if you
can�t attend any of these events, my phone number is
756-3182.
