1933-34 History Report
The Gardiner 4-H Club was organized on Nov. 1, 1933, nine boys and six girls joined at the first meeting, all being first year members with the exception of Robert Thiel and Roland Orsborn who were second year members. The officers for the year were elected as follows-------Betty Nebel, President --Leo Schaeffer, Vice President.--Harry Chappelear, 2nd vice pres.--Robert Thiel, 3rd vice pres.--Louise Chappelear, secretary--Betty Oravetz, Assist, Sec.--Leo Schaeffer, Reporter and Ina Majors, treasurer.
The projects to be taken up were gardening and sewing. We held our meetings on the first Friday of every month.
Early in the year the girls sewing club started making two quilts. All the members of our club sold chances on them to raise finances. In March, Milton Nebel joined our club. Later in March the club gave a candy sale and made $3.00. In June we put on a program for the poultry club meeting. The program consisted of demonstrations, club songs, and the initiation of our new member, Milton Nebel. The Discovery Bay 4-H Club was there and put on an entertainment also. After the program and meeting the Gardiner 4-H girls sold pot holders and made 36 cents. May 12, we gave a dance at the “Chicken Coop” and made $16.00 clear of expenses. The delegates for the June Club Camp at Pullman were, Betty Nebel, Robert Thiel, and our leader Mrs. D.N. King. They had a wonderful trip. The expenses amounted to $40.50. The July meeting of our club was held in the form of a picnic at Beausite Lake, Chimacum, Wash. A number of the parents attended and everyone enjoyed themselves.
On August 7th the club went to the Olympic Hot Springs with our leaders to the leaders meeting where there were nine counties represented. The meeting lasted two days and everyone had a good time. Expenses amounted to $6.00. At the September meeting all the old business was taken care of. The chances on the quilts had not all been sold but will be soon. The last meeting was held on Oct. 6. We had a fair after the meeting to exhibit our club work. Those winning prizes on first year work were, Betty Oravetz, first prize on sewing. Betty Nebel, 2nd prize on sewing exhibited. Walter Chappelear, 1st prize on vegetable collection exhibited. Leo Schaeffer, 2nd prize on vegetable collection exhibited. Those winning prizes on 2nd year work were----Robert Thiel, first prize, and Roland Orsborne, 2nd prize.
This ends our first years work and we hope to have all our old members join for the coming year and more new members also.
