1953


Our main project for 1953 was on our clubhouse. We painted the interior hung new drapes, and fixed a picket fence around the front yard, for our young children to play in. We , also, as most every year, had the 4H Club of Greenfield as a project.

Our outstanding Club achievement was our monthly birthday parties, which we gave each month for all the members and their families. We always had birthday cakes for each party. These parties seemed to develop a larger interest to belong to the club, and we therefore gained three new member in 1953.
