Norwalk 4-H All Stars
The regular meeting of the Norwalk 4-H All Stars
was held on May 2, 2010, at the Norwalk Public Library.
The meeting was called to order by President Dannica
Larson at 6:00 PM. Sara Bennett led the Pledge of Alle-
giance.
Roll call was answered by 8 members, stating their
favorite flower. For old business, recognition certifi-
cates and stickers were handed out. For new business,
we discussed making a planter for the fair, and the
achievement show scheduled for our next meeting. We
will also make our booth decorations for the Warren
County Fair.
Alexis Minson demonstrated how to make
Scotcheroos. Treats were provided by Alexis Minson,
Sara Bennett, and Erin Bunce.
All members present participated in our club project,
making peanut butter pinecone birdfeeders.

In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance,
everyone should have a dog that will worship him and
a cat that will ignore him.
