The Cardinal 4-H Club had a great transition into the new 4-H year. We ended last year with a Celebration of Achievements event, where many of our members received 4-H pin awards.

A pin is an award given to 4-H members who meet certain 4-H standards. You can also receive pin awards for specific project areas.

A family in our club, the Michelle Schrock Family, also received the 4-H Family of the Year Award. This award is given to one family in our district each year that makes a significant contribution to 4-H. Congratulations to the Schrock Family, and thank you for all you do.

The Michelle Schrock Family was named 4-H Family of the Year for the Central Kansas 4-H District. Pictured family members include: (left to right) Brenda Wikoff, Rylee Korb, Reygan Schrock and Michelle Schrock.

In our club meetings, we started the new year with officer elections and installation, where club members were elected into their leadership roles for the year. Many new members are taking on new leadership roles this year. In December, we had an awesome Christmas Party, where members enjoyed a potluck and gift exchange. We are happy to say we have many new members, and our club is constantly growing.

This month, our club also had two Gavel Games teams compete: one senior team and one junior team. Both teams received blue ribbons! Gavel Games is a contest in which members learn how to run a meeting using parliamentary procedure. Keep up the good work, Cardinal 4-H.
