They discussed which family to donate money to for Christmas and every member donated $5. They introduced a new member, Landon Martin, from Grand Junction. The club was reminded that members need to attend one project meeting for beef, sheep, and pigs to show at the fair. The dates have not been set, but the Extension staff will set the date when it is closer to the time. After the meeting they had pizza and pop for their Christmas party.
