Fourteen members, one Cloverbud, and one community leader were present.

Payton Scharff gave a talk on the importance of wearing face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Mallory Heim talked about her guitar. And Cooper Scharff gave a talk about his cat.

The club participated in a flag retirement ceremony and enjoyed a virtual tour presented by Jenni Armstrong. 

Roll call on July 26 was answering “name one place, other than the U.S. you want to visit.”

Twenty-four members, one cloverbud and two community leaders attended.

Community leader Kim Schomaker congratulated members on all of their accomplishments during the Allen County Fair. She reminded the members to make sure to write thank-you notes to fair sponsors, and to get their pictures to Jenni Armstrong for the virtual tour presentation.

The next meeting is Sept. 20 and will be election night. 

Members adjourned by saying the 4-H motto.
