Meetings have moved online for the Smoky View 4-H Club because of the pandemic, and the annual Model Meeting competition looked different, too.
The club participated in the Model Meeting competition for the Central Kansas District on Jan. 30, in an online competition. The club won a purple ribbon and are going to be moving on to regional level, going up against other clubs from the Central Kansas District, River Valley District, and Dickinson, Geary, and Marshall Counties. Regional Model Meeting will be held March 27.
Normally, a Model Meeting would be held in person in front of a judge. Model Meeting was held virtually this year.
Despite the pandemic, Model Meeting was still able to be held for members this year.
“Model Meeting is a great way for kids to learn the parliamentary process used in running a meeting,” said club leader Jodie Norberg, “It is also a great way to mix the older members with the younger members of our club.”
