The Prairie Home Helping Hands 4-H Club members met Feb. 9. Secretary Aubrey Scott called the meeting to order and Treasurer Allen Haslag gave a report. Members of Cooper County Teen Council visited and provided information about upcoming events in the county. Reports were given on the Ethics meeting and the Shooting Sports Safety Day. Plans for working at the concession stand at the Music Contest on March 6 were discussed. Emma Stock was welcomed as a new member. After the business meeting, members enjoyed the annual tradition of making handmade Valentine's cards for area senior citizens and friends of 4-H.
