Whispering Willow Prepares for A New Year
Members gathered together at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on October 4 to celebrate 4-H Sunday. Members helped with different parts of Mass. Following Mass, we had a breakfast for everyone at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Later that afternoon, we had a work day for the Haunted Forest. We also had our monthly meeting. We talked about 4-H week activities, our upcoming community service activities, and welcomed three new members to our club.
We will be holding our Haunted Forest on October 17, 24, and 30. We welcome everyone out for a fun scare and to help the Helm family with medical expenses.
Whispering Willow 4-H Club Takes Part in Community Service
Whispering Willow 4-H Club Members took part in the 48 Hours of 4-H Community Service initiative by cleaning up after the home football game on Friday, October 9, and cleaning up Kingman Main Street on Sunday, October 11. When members give back through community service projects, we gain leadership and citizenship opportunities and feel connected to our community.

The Norwich boosters had their kickoff meeting at Lindsay Hardway’s house on October 18th, with a BBQ.
Members had a brief meeting about officers and upcoming events. The annual silent auction bake sale will be held in January at a home basketball game. We also voted on officers and have great people for our officers. Cora Turner was voted President, Ella Carroll Vice President, Natalie Francis Secretary, Paisley Turner Treasurer, Madison Francis Reporter.
After the meeting the kids made s’mores and got to play outside. The next meeting of Norwich Boosters will be November 15th in our 4-H room in the building on main street, with a Kansas Game Warden as a guest to do a presentation.

Hawk Club Celebrates 4-H Week
On October 5th the Hawk 4-H club set up their annual window display at Kingman Realty. Multiple members brought their various projects to display throughout 4-H Week.
On the 10th, at 9:00 A.M., the club met at Riverside Park and did community service around the bandstand. We smoothed out the worked-up dirt, trimmed the hedges, and raked pine needles. Although we had planned for two hours of work, we finished it in one. The next day we had our 4-H Sunday at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church. It was the first weekend in the newly renovated church. Club members attended 10 o’clock Mass and hosted a cinnamon roll reception afterwards.
Our monthly meeting was on October 12th at 7:00 P.M. in the Livingstons building. Ten guests attended. Partway through the meeting, the installation of officers took place. The members that had been elected in the previous meeting now took on their new roles in the club.
Our club is turning 90 this year! After a brief discussion of our club's history, we voted to celebrate with cake and ice cream at the next meeting on November 9th. We also decided to buy Hawk 90th-anniversary T-shirts for all the club members.
We voted to make Christmas cards for residents at Wheatlands and present them with the American Legion.
Planning for the Christmas Parade float was postponed until the next meeting.
