The Stull Busy Beavers 4-H Club met Dec. 13 at the Stull United Methodist Church Faith and Friendship Center. The club voted to donate $200 to the Addison Leslie family to help with out-of-pocket medical expenses. The meeting included reports from Kassidy Schumann (cat project), Baylee Wulfkuhle (flowerpot frog craft), Kelsey Wulfkuhle (how to make a flannel blanket), Lia Jones (how to make deviled eggs), Coy Leming (beef cattle halters), and Tristan Kramar (how to make a Christmas ornament). The club families brought items for the four grandparents the club adopted for a holiday project from the Douglas County Senior Center. The club members also went Christmas caroling Dec. 17 at the Lawrence Presbyterian Manor.

The club’s January monthly meeting was canceled because of inclement weather.

Their February meeting was held Feb. 14 at the Stull UMC Faith and Friendship Center. Roll call was answered by naming a 4-H fact. Gina Schumann, club leader, reported the club received a purple seal for 2010 and passed out membership and leader pins. The club ordered new T-shirts and had a successful fundraiser with their taco feed in January. Cassody O’Connor provided an illustrated talk on how to properly do a place setting for the program. “Simon Says” was played for recreation. The club also practiced for their model meeting competition for county 4-H club days, which was held Feb. 19 at the extension office. The next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. March 14 at the Stull UMC Faith and Friendship Center. It will be Spirit Night, and everyone is encouraged to dress in green and white.
