Officers present were Hughes, First Vice President Connie Hatfield, Second Vice President Jodi Huegler, Third Vice President Beau O’Brien, Corresponding Secretary Margie Awalt, Treasurer Liz Dehnert and Recording Secretary Patty Alexander.

Mrs. Hughes thanked all the hostesses. Margie Awalt gave the invocation.

Jackie Hughes introduced the speaker, Major Larry Young, with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, who spoke on “Conserving Our Resources.” Young presented a PowerPoint demonstration about how the law enforcement division works to protect Texas’ wildlife, other natural resources and the environment. He shared many humorous stories about how dumb criminals can really be.

Club members were reminded to check out the decorations downtown and see how great the area looks. Please remember to thank all the participating 4-H clubs who worked on this project.
