At the October meeting for Shaver's Creek 4-H Club, members celebrated the Halloween season with a movie and a potluck meal, while also collecting items for the soliders in Iraq. To watch the movie, members had to bring an item on the list to send to the soliders, and they were encouraged to bring a friend. Cards were made by the 4-H members to send along to the soldiers with the items collected. The 4-Hers had a blast watching the movie "Monsters Vs. Aliens" and eating delicious popcorn provided by the Juniata Valley Band Boosters. Also at the meeting, members decided to elect officers at the next gathering on November 2nd. Shavers Creek 4-H Club invites anyone ages 8 to 18 to be a part of our club and have access to all the fun and life changing experiences that come with being a
