Rocky Top 4-H Club News

In November members of the Rocky Top 4-H Club held an Appreciation Dinner for the Mountainburg Fire Department, area volunteer fire fighters and first responders.  They served a brisket dinner and had door prizes.  Afterwards the fire department gave the kids a tour of the firehouse and fire trucks and their equipment.
    In December several members went to the Alma Rehab Health Care and decorated the bedroom doors for Christmas.  We also went to the Dollar General in Alma and shopped for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital and afterwards went for a club pizza party. 

    At our December 4-H meeting we had our Club Christmas Party and swore in the new 4-H officers for the 2010 year.  The new officers are:  President, Lillian Beasley; Vice-President, Alexander Balandran; Secretary, Samantha Riggs; Treasury, Dalton Hall; Photographer, Rylli Hammond; Recreational Leaders, Dillon Hall and Garret Henry; Song Leader, Annie Beasley; Reporter, Shai Wilkinson. 

    In January we had several members turn in their Record Book Journals and the Cloverbuds are due on February 3rd along with the Club’s Community book, Promotional Book and Club Book.  The Community and Promotional Books are sent off to be judged.  Our Club won the 2009 canned Food Drive.  We have started off our new 4-H year and plan on having a lot of fun and learn a lot.
