This past year the club was involved in various activities. In September,
we held a cookout for all the new pledges. They were also given a tour of the
campus farm. In October, we hosted an AQHA Horseshow. We also sponsored a booth
at a dog show benefiting the local humane society. The club put on a Haunted
Hay Ride and spook house for the public at the end of the month. November's
activities consisted of the Little International Livestock Show and the annual
Pledge Sale. In December, we held initiation at the Chapel. In February, the
club worked the Dixie Nationals Livestock Judging contest in Jackson, MS, and
hosted and competed in an annual Collegiate Rodeo. In March, we attended the
National Block and Bridle Convention. April's activities included the annual
crawfish boil, All-Eastern Livestock Judging contest, and School Days on the
Farm (for grades K-5). We also sponsored two club members to enter a hog cooking
contest in which they won Honorable Mention. Also, 20 male members danced at
a benefit for a local woman with cancer. All the money made went to her treatments.
In April, we had our annual awards banquet, and concluded the year with the
induction of the new officers, and adjourned meetings for the summer.
