Friendly Paw Dog Club Learns to Scrapbook!

Friendly Paw Dog Club members welcomed guest speaker, Melissa Newton, an art teacher and Bucks County 4-H leader to their meeting on March 25, 2009. Melissa presented examples of a well-done page and one that was not very good. Members then critiqued the pages, learning what works and what does not. Afterward, the children made their own scrapbook pages themed "My Dog". These four-page photo books describing their dog and facts about the breed will be entered at the 4-H Fair in August. This scrapbook workshop was a great way for the club to start its own scrapbook …something the Friendly Paw Dog Club has never had. It will be a way for the members to document the various club activities, along with the canine visitors and guest speakers we have at meetings. Now when people ask, "What does your club do?", a picture can say a thousand words.
