4-H Youth Help Out
Posted December 21, 2017 at 5:50 am by Tim Dustrude
On Tuesday night, the 4-H youth of San Juan Island gathered at the San Juan Island Grange #966 for a very special community club meeting. Led by club volunteer Kris Bayas and teen leader Lydia Downs, they began baking holiday cookies, while parents and volunteers brought countless donations for the Severe Weather Shelter.
As part of their community service, the 26 4-H’ers, ages 5 to 17, created 45 “care packages” for those seeking shelter from the cold this winter. Packages included wool socks, hand warmers, snacks, and toiletries.
At each meeting, 4-H youth pledge their heads to clearer thinking, their hearts to greater loyalty, their hands to larger service, and their health to better living, for their club, their community, their country, and their world. Community service is an integral part of their requirements to successfully complete a 4-H year.
You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
