The Granby 4-H Club holds 8 club meetings annually (November-June) on the first Wednesday of the month. The meetings begin promptly at 7 PM and are run by the Granby 4-H officers. Meetings are very organized and are presented following Robert’s Rules of Order. 

The meeting opens with the pledge of allegiance and the 4-H pledge, followed by the secretary and treasurer’s reports, committee reports, and old business and new business. During this meeting, the club discusses and votes upon issues such as spending money and events in which to participate. Every member has a vote, and every member’s opinion is valued-don’t be afraid to speak up!

After the business portion of the meeting is complete, a demonstration is offered. The demonstration is presented by one or more 4-H members or a project group. It is a time to explain a project they are currently working on. Some past demonstrations have included a short talk on how a person would clip and prepare a cow for showing, showing a woodworking project and how it was made, and how to make cinnamon rolls. Following the demonstration is the evening’s program.

Then, an adult presents an interesting program. Past programs have included beekeeping, therapy dogs, and even a yoga class. The program topics vary greatly and are limited only by the members’ imaginations. All members are encouraged to make program suggestions to the officer team.

Project Meetings –  Members may register for individual projects (see projects below) based on their interests. These are smaller, topic-focused groups led by volunteer leaders and meet on varying schedules. This is where hands-on learning takes place!

Project leaders coordinate with 4-H members to set a schedule and alert you to important dates. See below for this year’s projects.
