The Baby Bear Hugs Program has asked the council to have concessions at their Safety Fair in February; it was tabled until our next meeting.

The Colorado Youth Fund Contribution is $2.00 a member with the clubs contributing a $1 for each member. It will be reported at our next meeting if this is in addition to the $5 owed by each member.

It was also decided to count only the 4-H years towards the First, Fifth, Tenth etc. Pins. The Cloverbud years do not count towards these pins.
