Being the largest organization on campus, about 100 members, the club never grew tired of their busy and motivating schedule. As you turn these pages, join FHSU Block and Bridle in their exciting and active year. l 2 ,7~ ~ . State ~~ etJ 'C&d-& 'C1tu:tk ( 600 Park Street Hays, Kansas 67601-4099 January 14, 1994 The Block and Bridle is a campus wide service organization. It presently consists of ninety-nine members and of these, thiny percent are non-agricultural majors (HHP, Elementary Education, Nursing, Communications, Industrial Education, Science,..etc.). The executive officers are President -Melanie Wendling, a junior majoring in .Agribusiness; Vice President -Anita Sakata, a senior majoring in Animal Science; Secretary -Deb Carpenter, a senior majoring in Animal Science; and Treasurer -Robyn Carey, a junior majoring in Business Communications. During the fall semester, the club co-sponsors the university-wide Welcome Back Picnic in the Quad. The club organizes this event over the summer and subsequently sets up, serves, and cleans up for the meal. Next we host an FFA Dairy Judging Contest and in October we host a Livestock Judging Contest for junior colleges. We use these contests to develop organizational skills. The club also helps raise funds for the University by having a team panidpate in the annual endowment telethon each fall. This year the club received the Student Organization Award from the Endowment Association based on a combination of dollars raised and participation. ( These activities are followed by the regional and national meetings. These typically occur over the last of the fall semester and at the first of the spring semester. The regional meeting was held in Manhanan,-Kansas, in October with twenty FHSU B&B members attending the three day event. This year's national meeting will be held in Houston, Texas, in March. The meetings allow members to learn more about agriculture industry programs, to obtain ideas from other clubs, and to meet new people and make new friends. We finish out the Spring semester with the FFA Livestock Judging Contest and the Unle International. The Unle International is a livestock fining and showing contest. Everyone on campus is invited to panicipate. Over the last few years students and faculty from the University of Missouri-Columbia and Nonh Dakota State University have been guests at our Unle International. Following the fitting and showing event, the annual Awards Banquet is held with usually 150-200 members, parents, friends, and alumni attending. The Block and Bridle Club, in addition to being a service-type organization for the University, also devotes efforts to fund-raising activities. The club sells sausage and hamburger, cooks at various functions and solicits funds for various events. This year the club volunteered as ushers and helped prepare stalls for the MUAB Horse Show. Also, as a way of helping promote FHSU, numerous club members worked Fon Hays State University's booth at the State Fair in September. In summary, the Block and Bridle Club allows students to be of service to the University (picnics, telethons, etc.), high school and junior college students (judging contests), and themselves (organizational skills, decision making skills, coo:ununication skills, leadership skills, etc.). 3 OFFICE: (913) 628-4196 3 ( Block and Bridle was an organi zation dedicated to service by stu dents who were interested in agri culture. Robyn Carey, Band B treasurer, said the organization had approximately 100 members. Mike Gould, national B and B president and local sponsor, said, "Almost all of the members have close ties to agriculture, but about 30 percent of the members are not agriculture majors." Throughout the year, Band B did a number of service activities in cluding: the campus-wide Wel come Back Picnic, Livestock Judg ing contests for both high school and junior colleges, the Fort Hays ( State Booth at the State Fair and the Endowment Telethon.
