Ryder News for Sept. 8, 2016
There was a good crowd at Bingo Friday night and it looked
like the Tupperware fundraiser for Maureen (Petz) Hagen was a pretty good one.
The Ryder Community Club gave out several $100 Tupperware gift certificates as
bingo prizes. Kenny managed to win one of them so I now get to pick out $100
worth of Tupperware.

Thirty 4-H clubs were recognized for demonstrating their
commitment to teaching
healthful habits and practicing healthful living by being
designated as Healthy North Dakota 4-H clubs for 2015-16.
The 4-H clubs, with a total of 463 members, earned the
special recognition for making "Eat Smart. Play Hard." lessons part
of their club meetings for the past year. Six clubs also earned extra
recognition for completing the Family Mealtime Challenge.
"Eat Smart. Play Hard. Together" is a statewide
campaign that emphasizes the importance of making healthful food choices,
getting regular exercise and families eating together. This was the eighth or
ninth year some clubs were named a Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club. This year,
each club member received a certificate of recognition and a small prize.
Several local county area clubs were recognized this year by
number of members and number of years they have received the Healthy North
Dakota 4-H Club recognition, and they completed the Family Mealtime
Challenge: McLean County- Washburn
Cowboys, six members, two years; Lakeside 4-H, 32 members, four years and
the Ward - Prairie Ryders, seven
members, one year.
"One 'H' in 4-H stands for health, and we continue to
be pleased with the variety of health-related activities that clubs throughout
North Dakota report," says Julie Garden-Robinson, North Dakota State
University Extension Service food and nutrition specialist and Healthy North
Dakota 4-H Clubs program coordinator.
"Being part of a 4-H club involves learning by doing,
and these clubs have not only learned about nutrition, fitness and health, but
they have participated in activities that can impact their families and their
communities," she adds.
Clubs are required to incorporate at least one nutrition or
fitness activity into a minimum of six regular meetings during the year to be
named a Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club.
4-H clubs interested in participating in the 2016-17 North
Dakota Healthy 4-H Clubs program should contact their county Extension office
