PLEASANT HILL CLOVERBUDS - By Jacob McCumbers
The Pleasant Hill Cloverbuds had 23 out of 31 members present. At the meeting, we started out with the 4-H pledge.
Then we divided into three groups and made Halloween Play-dough. The students really enjoyed doing that. Of course, the group that finished last was Jacob's group, because they messed up with the mixture.
After we made play-dough, the students got to take some home with them. We had homemade cup cakes that Jan and Brandi Whited made and chips and juice for snack. We went outside to eat our snacks. That will probably be the last time we will be able to go outside in the nice weather. We had prizes for drawings too. Each member got a prize.
The Cloverbuds will be selling sausage, biscuits and gravy and hot dogs at the Hometown Country Christmas Craft show at the Courthouse on December 1st and 2nd from 9 a.m. to 4.p.m. Parents please be thinking about something to bring for the sale. I will send letters home at the next meeting with items that will be needed. I would like to say thanks to my assistant leaders, Jan Whited and Clara Husk for helping me.
