The Young Americans 4-H Club met on Thursday, Jan. 27, at Grace United Methodist Church. Anthony Strack called the meeting to order. Tyler Kirchdoerfer and Gary Schweer led the pledges. Clayton Kirchdoerfer and Haley Ehlers led a song. Ellie Foote led a game. Lydia Cameron read the minutes of the December meeting, and Anthony Strack presented the treasurer's report. Several project groups reported on their meetings: goats, veterinary science, horse, bucket calf, and dairy. The Clover Kids made hot chocolate mix, which they shared with the club. All members were invited to help with the club garden.
