The club members also discussed summer activities and experiences scholarships. The members decided on countywide trips to be $50, statewide trips to be $100 and out-of-state trips to be $250. For this to pass there needed to be a motion. Madison Stieglitz made a motion to approve that county trips get $50, state trips get $100 and out-of-state trips get $250. Ellie Robida seconded that motion. Jarrett Rueth talked about his 4-H camp experiences to encourage more kids to go on the summer camps that the 4-H has to offer.

Next, Hunter and Mason Walter talked about all the necessary parts you need to go fishing. They also demonstrated where the attached parts go on the fishing rod, which bait is used for what kind of fishing, etc.

The club also had two seniors give a speech on what 4-H meant to them. Mya Rueth and Leah Kayhart gave speeches describing what 4-H has taught them over the years. Both girls talked about how important community service has been to them. This is a requirement to get the Loyal Lads & Lassies scholarship.

Club Activity: This month, the club did a St. Patrick's Day word search.

The Loyal Lads & Lassies 4-H club ended its meeting at 7:46 p.m. Eden Stieglitz made the motion to adjourn the meeting. Katarina Smith seconded that motion.
