Barb gave the financial report. The balance of the account was $1533.12. The
MVES Field Day had a profit of $228.97. The MVES Field Day was successful and
Barb thanked the chairwomen Sue and Cindy for their help.
It was brought to attention that there were eleven white 4-H Hats left that had
originally sold for $15. Discussion was open to decide to either sell the hats or to give
them away as prizes or awards at Achievement Night. Sue made a motion to put the
hats on sale for $10 and what is not sold be used as gifts at Achievement Night. The
motion was approved after some discussion. The sale of the hats will be mentioned in
the monthly newsletter.
Unfinished Business
The Clover Challenge will be on May 20, 2008 at 5:00 in the computer lab on
campus where seven people are to compete.
There was a small discussion about the web quiz and trying to get more
participants. It was motioned and approved that the quiz would be available for whole
clubs to complete at one time in the computer lab on campus and would be available
online for individuals to complete as well.
The new communication project, being piloted in Frontier County, was discussed
and can be completed as a whole club project.
New Business

There will be seven people attending the PASE Life Challenge in Lincoln from
June 30 to July 1, 2008.
There were no seniors signed up for the Wildlife Habitat Contest, and it was
decided that Frontier County would not be sending novices to the contest.
During the 4-H Calendar review, it was stated that the Livestock Quality
Assurance training needed to be shortened.
As for other new business, the Chamber wants to use the Cotton Candy Machine
for the 4th of July. Cindy will talk to her club about running the cotton candy machine for
the event. If her club will not be able to do it, it was decided that the 4-H Council will run
the machine for the event on the 4th of July. The price of the cotton candy was also a
matter of discussion. It was motioned by Hayley to keep the cotton candy price at $0.50
and was seconded by Sue.
