Meeting minutes

Feb, 2006

Silver Saddle 4-H is required to work the concession stand at the DCLA Youth Fair on Thursday, March 23rd from noon until 5 p.m. We need a volunteer to coordinate two children and two adults to work the stand for that five hour time period. This will count as a community service project for your recordbooks and your scholarship applications. If you coordinate the volunteers, you will receive leadership credit as well. Contact Kim Wendt if you can coordinate the schedule.

Today is the registration deadline for the West Texas Reining Horse Association Youth Clinic and Show scheduled for March 4 and 5 at the Texas Tech Equestrian Center in Lubbock. If interested, please contact Jana Pruitt Bagley at 806-647-0727 or 806-647-8303.
