On April 2, 2007, the regular monthly meeting of the North Osage 4-H Club was called to order at 7:07 by our president Hailey Clemons at the Kansas State Bank basement. The Pledge of Allegiance was lead by Katherine Moore and the 4-H pledge was lead by Cameron Koger. Sixteen members answered roll call with “What is your favorite Easter candy?” It was the Parent’s Meeting so Michele Moore acting as secretary read the minutes of the last meeting which were approved as read.

Before and after the meeting the Tag-a-longs made 130 Easter place mats.

For communications the secretary read a thank you from Darrell Howard with a check for his appreciation of the cookies the 4-H members have brought to him during the holidays. A thank you was also read from the Overbrook Pride for helping wash dishes for the breakfast.

Hope Koger, the acting reporter said that the minutes of the last meeting were submitted in the paper but not yet published.

The treasurer was not there so our Jr. treasurer Patrick Moore gave the treasurer’s report. The balance in the checking account is $1235.22.

The acting historian, Curtis Stahel, reported needing photos from the nursing home activities and regional club days. He displayed the scrapbook.
