Did you know that Parliamentary procedure is an orderly way to conduct a meeting, a fair way to make a group discussion, respects everyone, gives everyone a chance to speak, used in groups everywhere, and majority rules while minorities are protected..
The proper way to make a motion is to say “I move..”. The proper way to second a motion is to say “I second the motion.”
If you want to amend (change) a motion you should say “I move to amend the motion by….”
A motion to adjourn the meeting is done so by stating “I move to adjourn this meeting.” A motion to adjourn needs a second, no discussion needed, and must be voted on right away!
Did you know there are over 30 different types of motions! These are some simple ones and the majority of the ones that you will utilize in your 4-H Club meeting.
Remember, STAND UP when you are speaking and only person speaks at a time!
A basic shotgun course has been scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at Michael Murphy Sporting Clays, 6400 SW Hunter Road. Check in is from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The class starts at 9:00am, and will end at about 4:00 p.m. Bring your own lunch and drinks. Ice chests will be available for storing them. If you are not currently enrolled in 4-H, your parent will need to complete a participation form before you can participate in the course. This can be done Saturday morning at the range. Your parent must be present to sign the form. If not, you must bring the completed form with you. You cannot participate without the signed form.
Bring your own shotgun, either a 12 ga. or 20 ga. No 410-s. An improved cylinder choke is preferred. If you do not have a suitable shotgun, a limited number of shotguns can be provided. Ammunition is provided. Contact Gene Maggard at 316-742-3746 to let him know if you have your own shotgun and its gauge, or if you have any questions. Signup for this course must be completed by November 11.
