    The Udder Dairy 4-H Club has held its first two meetings of the new year. On December 29, new officers were elected for the club: Matt Oechsle, president; Joce` Fokker, vice president; Ericka Priest, secretary; Jan-Kees Fokker, treasurer and Korey Oechsle, reporter. Old Business was a report on the participation in the Holiday Light Show at the Van Wert Fairgrounds. New Business was setting meeting dates and discussion about Quality Assurance changes for this year.
    On January 12, President Matt Oechsle called the second meeting to order with 13 members present. Seth Bolenbaugh led the pledges, Ericka Priest read the roll call and Jan-Kees Fokker gave the treasurers report. In old business, advisor Jill McCoy reminded the members to complete their activity papers from last year and discussed the issue of tougher state demands on Quality Assurance. It was noted that Craig McNall is certified to do QA and is willing to combine the beef & dairy for one. Dates will be worked on and the test out date is April 8. In new business, folders were passed out, the next meeting discussed for Jan. 26 with the Curran family providing refreshments.
