Chipman 4-H elects new executive
Follows up AGM with Halloween party for the members
BY JOHN MATHER The Chipman 4-H Beef and Multiclub held its annual general meeting on Oct. 30 and followed it up with a Halloween party for the membership. “We voted-in our new executive today,” said general leader Crystal McCullough. “Hayden Childs was elected as the president; Torsten Wendorff is the new vice-president; Kyle Mastin is the treasurer; and Julia Yost becomes the club secretary.” In addition to meeting in Chipman at the community hall, the club has also been donated meeting space at the Walker School in Bruderheim by the Bruderheim Agricultural Society. “Our monthly meetings will move to the school and we can also use it for project meetings,” said McCullough. This year the club has nine full members and there are about 15 cleaver members. “It’s a big Cleaver group this year,”added McCullough. In addition to having beef kids in the 4-H Club this year, McCullough added there is also a motocross group, outdoor living, K-9, photography and culinary groups. “This is a growth year for us,” said McCullough. “We are a small group right now, but we expect to see it grow further next year.” She said it is her first year with 4-H and many others in the group are newcomers so “they are all stepping up to help out in any way they can.”
