Room 4-U Minutes for May 13, 2008
Kara R. called the meeting to order on May 13, 2008 at 6:40 PM and welcomed everyone.
Jacquelyn K. led the American pledge and Nicole W. led the 4-H pledge. There were approximately 100 Room 4-U 4-H Club members and guests present.
Mrs. Schaubert, Christine Schaubert, and Bethany Wesco led us in our Devotions through an amazing illustrated Scripture, Proverbs 31:10-31.
The Elkhart County 2007 Senior Fair Queen, Rachael Maurer, led us in prayer before our meal.
Our carry-in dinner buffet included many delicious foods such as hot dishes, salads, vegetables, magical punch, and dessert. Each table had its own pitcher of magical punch that looked like water, but it held quite a surprise for those who tried it. Thank you to everyone who brought such delicious food.
For our program, Mr. John Begly, of Illusions 2 Illustrate, performed a variety of spectacular illusions which demonstrated Biblical truths and the importance of building our lives upon things that have eternal value. Some illusions included an unexpected dove, an unexpected rabbit, and even an edible napkin!
Our special guests for the evening were the Elkhart County 2007 Senior Fair Queen, Rachael Maurer, and the Elkhart County 2007 Fair Queen, Mekayla Diehl. Rachael Maurer talked about her busy, fun-filled week at the fair and the many events in which she participated.
Using the name of our club she drew a parallel, explaining that God also has room for each one of us; that He cares for us and wants His very best for each one of us, just as our leaders do. She further illustrated this idea by reminding us that although our 4-H leaders guide and instruct us, they cannot do the work that our 4-H projects require. In the same way, as our parents, pastors, and Sunday School teachers seek to instruct us in how to honor and serve God, we must remember that it is still our responsibility to obey God's Word and follow His will for our own lives. No one else can do this for us.
In her final challenge, she admonished us to learn to look to God and lean on Him for help in every area of our lives, just as we have learned to depend on our 4-H leaders for support and encouragement with our projects. As Mrs. Maurer so eloquently stated in her parting words, “God is there to love, guide, support, and encourage you through His Word, and by using others who are a part of His family. He is available anytime. You just need to call on Him.”
Mekayla Diehl talked about the events involved in the Elkhart County pageant and the friendships she had made. She also talked about her experience down at the State Fair Queen pageant. She expressed her appreciation for our club leadership and the values our club has embraced. She shared with us that her greatest blessing during her reign as queen, was the opportunity she had to become friends with the Senior Queen, Mrs. Maurer. At which time, they gave each other a great big hug. It was plain to see that they had come to know and love each other dearly.
There were no nominations for 2008 Senior Fair Queen. So, Mrs. Schaubert encouraged everyone to go home and think about people who might enjoy being Room 4-U's Senior Fair Queen nominee; call them; ask them, and then let her know.
Finally, Mrs. Schaubert announced our highest seller awards for 4-H Geraniums: 1st place with a $25.00 prize went to Leah T., who sold a grand total of 299 geraniums! 2nd place with a $15.00 prize went to Jennifer and Jessica S., who sold 239 geraniums. Finally the 3rd place $10.00 prize went to Amy G., who sold 226 geraniums. Honorable mentions included: Ellen A., with 121 geraniums, Nicole W., with 142 geraniums, and Katherine C., with 200 geraniums. Mrs. Schaubert also announced that 29 club members sold a grand total of 2,325 geraniums which gave our club a profit of $581.25. This total, combined with two donations equaling $25.00, brought our club profit up to a grand total of $606.25, which was $6.25 more than we earned last year.
Mrs. Schaubert distributed 4-H manuals in the absence of Mrs. Wise.
Mother/Daughter Banquet committee members were: Bethany J., Committee Chair; Ellen and Katie A.; Katherine C.; Anna J.; Laura M., Kara R., Bethany R.; Mrs. Amy S.; Jennifer and Jessica S.; and Jill S..
