Ok Now for the 4H

I've been reading a lot of other blogs and have come to the conclusion that talking about your 4h club is a good idea. I have mentioned it previously but never talked much in detail. This year I have the privileged of being the club president for The Wild N Woolly 4H Sheep Club of East Central Alberta.

 
We are one of few sheep clubs in Alberta that is not also a multi-club. Also we are set up a little different that many other clubs. Starting in November and ending in October makes our club literally all year around. November is when we start up, set up our executive and plan out the year. May is when we have highway clean up and June is our weigh in day where our lambs are officially put into the 4h program. Then 60-63 days later we have our Achievement Day at the end of August. Then to wrap it all up, at the end of October we have our awards night. Our meetings are once a month on the second Sunday of each month. As president I have taken the initiative to make sure all our meetings are under an hour in length. Since our club has 14 members, 3 cleavers, 3 seniors, 4 intermediates and 4 juniors, it is easy to see that our club has a fair amount of young kids with short attention spans. And to be frank long meetings bore the seniors too. 
What's your club like? Where are you located? Are you part of a sheep club too?
