BERLIN CENTER, Ohio — Members of the Western Reserve Rangers 4-H club made plans to march in the Berlin Township Memorial Day Parade May 24.
Clothing and fashion members are getting ready for another year. In March, the youth and parents toured the JoAnn ETC Store in Boardman, where members selected patterns, fabric and notions for their projects.
During the first sewing learnshop in April, members cut out their 4-H sewing projects under the supervision of advisers Amanda Majirsky and Kathleen Moser. Vice President Emily Smith announced that the sewing learnshops for members with clothing construction projects will begin June 9 at the home of Kathleen Moser.
Moser, a Certified 4-H Master Clothing Educator, will be traveling to both Portage and Tuscarawas counties in July to judge clothing projects and select 4-H members to participate at the Ohio State Fair.
Members Emily Smith and Remi Mika attended a recent county commissioner’s meeting in Youngstown with Janice Hanna, county 4-H director.

Katie Prosser and Jessie Cummings reported for the swine and hog group, Laura Jones gave information from the poultry members, Karl Reph reported on the rabbit group, Ian Hames shared discussion from the members with small projects, and Abby Schors reported for the clothing group.
