The December 7, 2006 IU Collegiate 4-H meeting was called to order by Jessica Falkenthal. A total of ten members were present at the meeting.
Old business: Holiday Hoopla, sponsored by Girls, Inc., will occur on Saturday, December 9, 2006. All those who volunteered need to be present at 9:20 am for the cooking workshop.

Sabrina, Renee, and Jessica volunteered to attend.
New business: Our first order of new business was to conduct officer elections for the following calendar year. After nominations were closed for each officer it was moved by Lindie to accept Jessica as our President and Jacob seconded the motion. The motion was passed. Lindie moved to accept Ellen as Vice-President; this was seconded by Katie and the motion passed with a unanimous decision. After voting, Katie was elected as the club Secretary. Ellen then moved to accept Lindie as the club’s Treasurer, seconded by Renee. The motion passed.
Next on the agenda was the formation of Standing Committees. Volunteers for the 4-H Youth Development Programming Committee were Sabrina, Lindie, Sam, Kara, and Ellen. This committee will be chaired by Jessica. Those volunteering to be on the Service Committee were Katie, Jacob, Renee, Jessica, Sabrina, and Lindie. The chairperson will be decided upon a later date.

Following the formation of these committees the club reviewed and revised the Constitution and By-Laws.
