April 5, 2009 Meeting



The regular meeting of the Premont Cactus 4-H club was called to order at 4:15 pm. at the Casa Real recreation center by President Meagan Saenz. The pledge, 4-H motto, pledge and prayer was led by Monica Moralez. The secretary's report was read by Javier Morales. Treasure's report was read by Travis Brown.

Thanks to everyone who worked the Promotional Booth at the JWC fairgrounds.

Old Business: At last month's meeting Club manager Tammy Martinez challenged the members to a recycle craft contest. Each member was asked to make a craft from a recycled item. 1st place went to Ryan Kalinec, 2nd to Lauren Bowman and 3rd to Letty Lara. All participants have very creative projects. These can be entered in the fair in October!!!

New members were welcomed: Justin, Katrina and Jordan Barrera


and Isaac Salinas,
Gabriela Cantu and Letty Lara.

We are so excited to have you in our club!

The top picture is of Monica Moralez. She is going to New York this summer and presented a talk on the Statue of Liberty. Great job and can't wait to see pictures from the trip!


The creative juices were flowing after the meeting when Tammy offered to have the members paint or decoupage their wooden crosses and various shapes.

10th Annual Easter Celebration

The Premont Cactus 4-H had a wonderful turnout for the 10th Annual Easter Celebration. There were a total of 5 hunts with over 3000 eggs filled by our hard working members. 53 baskets filled with goodies were given to those whose eggs had a special number in them. Thanks to Dairy Queen for donating tokens that could be found in the eggs as well.

Travis Brown and his family had a petting zoo including turkeys, goats and baby chicks. Mrs. Sue Thompson, April and Tilden helped keep the animals happy.

Ryan and Emily Kalinec's family made crafts including a foam bunny which was a big hit!


Jake and Chance Russell, Kathy Russell and Letty Lara made cheeto puff carrots.

Meghan, Trevor, Tammy and Carlos Martinez were busy with multiple game booths. The "Shrek" game was a big hit with the older crowd!

Mrs. Sain with the help of Amy and Mark baked cupcakes and helped the children decorate them with candy, sprinkles and more. Mmmmm they were good!

Annabel Chapa had many Easter themed craft activities that kept little hands busy!

The Bowman's served over 250 hotdogs courtesy of the JWC Precint 4, Commissioner Javier Garcia. Thank you Sebi Palacious for serving Gatorade to our thristy hunters!

Thomas Bowman and AJ Palacios along with Adolfo and Lazara had a roping dummy booth. The roping dummy was made from PVC by AJ and his dad. These lil' cowboys had great fun!


Chris, Abel, Monica and Javier Moralez, Meagan and Brianna Saenz, Aaron Lee were in charge of the multiple Egg Hunts. The group enjoyed seeing many happy faces. A special thanks to everyone who donated their plastic eggs back to the group for next years Easter Celebration.


Many Thanks to the Bikers who donated the Jumping thing and Mrs. Duque for providing hours of jumping fun.

Without the many hours of preparation by Tammy and Carlos Martinez, Cathy Lee, Annabel Chapa, Liz and Eddie Kalinec, Kathy Russell (the signs were great), Chris and Able Moralez, Adolpho and Lazara Palacios, Tessa Bowman, and Sue Thompson, the celebration would not have had the huge success on it's 10th year anniversary.
