On Oct. 8, members of the Smoky View 4-H Club attended the annual Central Kansas District (CKD) Officer Training and Family Event at Salina South Middle School and learned more about the club offices they will have for this 4-H year. Members also participated in service projects to give back to their community. 

About 10 members of the Smoky View 4-H Club attended the event. These members learned about their club offices and participated in some activities, such as making crafts, learning about 3-D printing, and identifying rabbit breeds. 

In the afternoon, members led or participated in service projects to give back to their community. These activities included sewing baby blankets for infants, preparing meal kits for a food pantry, and making paper door decorations for Bethany Home, a nursing home in Lindsborg. 

The club also celebrated its achievements from its last 4-H year, which ended on Sept. 30, by bowling at the Starlite Lanes bowling alley in McPherson.
