Erin 4-H dairy club starting new season

The Erin 4-H dairy club is looking for new members.

Members can come from anywhere - a rural property or in town. Everyone is welcome. Members must be 9 years old as of Jan. 1 and can belong until they are 21. They do not have to own a calf or live on a farm. The club will supply the calf and members supply energy and enthusiasm.

The focus of the club is on building youth interaction, public speaking, and self confidence, as well as teaching youth about the dairy industry and having fun doing it. Some of the topics include judging animals and how to prepare a calf for the show. There are six meetings from April to October. The first was on April 26.

Anyone who is interested can contact Miriam Bailey at 519-787-0648 or email va3mib@yahoo.ca.
