Introducing the All Around All Stars!

It is exciting to make the announcement about a new club and I think it is fair to say this new club is more colorful than all of our others. The organizational meeting for the All Around All Stars 4-H Arts and Crafts club took place tonight. Club Leader Jessica Drake has tons of volunteer help for this club, and just wanted to pull our youth together for a little creative fun. "I am really excited about this club and the opportunities for our youth to explore arts and crafts that they have not done before and give them an opportunity to express their creative side," said Drake.
The beginning of the club meeting was filled with the usual, filling out forms, setting a schedule and picking out a club name. Several names were solicited from the group including; "The Snack and Juice Club", "The Mighty Superheros", "The Imaginators", "The Crafty Crafters", and even "The Cut-Ups". In the end the members voted for. "The All Around All Stars 4-H Club" and that is how they will be referred to forever more.
After taking care of the paperwork and club name it was time to get down to business. Bookmarks and water bottles were waiting to be decorated. With each youth getting down to business with glue sticks and really neat cutouts creative bookmarks were conceived. They were so neat, and adorned with 4-H, ribbons and squiggles it just makes you want to sit down with a bottle of water and read a book so you can use it all.
The club adjourned their first and very successful meeting until next time. They have decided that they will meet the first Thursday of each month at the 4-H office. The meetings will begin at 5:30 pm and will last an hour to an hour and a half. If you are interested in being a part of this club please contact the 4-H office at (910) 671-3276.
