Feathers and Fur had a meeting in December:

 - Cheese orders came in and distributed.  We raised $6.25 for our group.

- Meals of Wheels Pet Food Fundraiser Recap: We collected bottles to buy food for the meals on wheels program (to buy pet food for the Meals on Wheels participants’ pets).  We will be buying the food from Tails of the Adirondacks in January. We raised $65  for the program.

- Dog Training: We had our first dog training for this 4H year with Peggy Rivers on December 12.

- Officer Election: We voted on our 4H group's officers. Jodi is President, Megan is Vice-President, Mercedes is Secretary, and Rayanna is Treasurer.

- Community Service: We made Christmas decorations to give to people/businesses that we have worked with this year.

 - Portfolios: 4Hers were reminded that they should be keeping track of 4H activities and achievements in a Portfolio (e.g. 3 ring binder).

- Future Fundraising:  Discussed the need to raise money for our group to support the activities we want to do. We are planning to do a bake sale at Tractor Supply on Saturday, February 11 from 10 to 2.
