Spring Day

  Southeast District 4-H Volunteer Leaders Spring Day.  The meeting was being held at the brand new Wayne County Center in Goldsboro and it was a perfect day for the drive and the event. 
 It was early as our Robeson County Volunteers piled into the van to attend the meeting.  There were ten folks attending from five counties.  We also had our Past State President, Diane Sturgis, and current President Kim Lackey in attendance.  Three of the district officers were also there; Rose Lee, President; Kim Nead, President-Elect; and Marilyn Merritt, Treasurer. 
  Barbara Byers, from Wayne County lead the first workshop on Cloverbud Leadership.  We talked about feelings, differences, family, and even touched on Citizenship.  Some of the activities included bubble blowing, fingerprint families, and making a flag.  Barbara also gave each participant an activity guide as part of attending the workshop to make it easier for them to implement when they get home.
  Kim Nead stitched up the lesson for the next workshop as the volunteers made their own heat pads.  Kim taught the group how to make a sleeve that was filled with dry rice, and then sewn to close it.  The sleeves can be placed in the microwave to heat up.  The warm moist heat is often a welcome healer for sore joints and muscles.  the beauty of this heating pad is that it can be used over and over again.
  After finishing the activities a business meeting was held.  The group decided to host lunch at District Activity Day to raise funds for the scholarship.  Kim Nead will get the scholarship applications judged and the winner or winners will be announced at District Activity Day.  The group also decided to host Fall Day on November 3 in Robeson County.  Please stay tuned as more details will be coming.
