After a quick getting use to things, we called our meeting to order. We were happy to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” recite our pledge to the flag and say our 4-H pledge, as well as call role and talk about new fun stuff coming soon. For example, the photography contest, cooking contest and more. We then played a game that taught us how to use money wisely. It was a fun game and as soon as it was over, we left the meeting!
