Millarville-Stockland 4-H Beef Club Had a Busy January

Happy New Year everyone!!! Our club started out January with District Curling and Public Speaking Workshop in High River on the 8th and 9th. I curled on the Saturday, along with Ben and Brent Arkes from our club. It was my very first time curling. A friend of mine from the Longview Club, Nevada Nelson, was on my team so she helped me. A blizzard moved in during the afternoon so we left a little early to avoid the bad roads.
We had our regular club meeting on January 12th. Everyone had to hand in their completed record books to be marked. On January 26th, at our workshop meeting, we had a public speaking guest speaker. Her name was Kathleen Cranswick. She is a past 4-H member and an amazing public speaker. She gave us tips on how to write our speeches and how to project our voices for our club speak-off. Thank you very much Kathleen for all your tips and advice! Our club's Public Speaking competition will be held February 12th at 10am at the Millarville Race Track Hall. My speech title is "Are You Itchy?"
