Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club
Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club
The Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club had a busy meeting in January, full of member presentations. Member presentations are critical to any 4-H meeting because they allow members to share their favorite projects and allow younger members to learn more about projects they have yet to try. Another significant aspect of member presentation is that it helps members gain confidence in front of crouds, improving their public speaking skills. At the January meeting, 4-H members gave project talks, demonstrations, a health and environment tip and a parliamentary procedure tip. Larkyn Bailey and Grant Fankhauser talked about their foods and nutrition projects in their project talks. Emma and Tess Fankhauser did demonstration talks for the club. E. Fankhauser taught the club how to crochet, and T. Fanhauser showed the club what is essential to be in a sewing kit. In his health and environment tip, Lane Darbro advised the club to be safe during the cold weather season. Mason McDonald reminded the club that parliamentary procedure only allows one person to hold the floor at one time. Another important item from the January meeting was that the club voted to compete in the model meeting contest at County Club Days. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM

Library To Offer Babygarten Class
Library To Offer Babygarten Class
The Eureka Public Library is offering a sixweek Babygarten class which will begin on Thursday, March 7, at 5:30 p.m. Babygarten is a program that brings caregivers and babies together for an hour of stimulating experiences intended to nurture the bond between caregiver and child and to increase the caregiver’s awareness of their child’s development. Classes will primarily focus on the healthy development of infants ages 0-24 months with an emphasis on language enrichment and pre-literacy skills. Because of this focus, attendance will be limited to that age group and their caregivers. These classes are free, but there are only 12 spots available so pre-registration is required by 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 4. If more than 12 pre-register, a wait list will be started for future classes. To register or for questions, call 620-583-6222 or visit the library at 606 North Main, Eureka. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM
