Opportunity
OOPS!
We missed the deadline
to be a part of “4-H Can Make a Difference Day”. However, we haven’t missed the
opportunity to make a difference.
A 4-H member suggested that we
collect new or gently used childrens’ items for the waiting room of the Cancer
Treatment Center. They could use books, small toys, small hand held games,
crayons, pencils, coloring books, card games…you get the idea. Bring them to the March meeting and get a
treat, and a very big thank you for Making a Difference.
Raptors!
Bring your family with you to this month’s 4-H meeting. The
Illinois Raptor Society will be doing a “Raptor
101” program for us this month. Clover Buds and their families are also
invited. We’ll have a full house and a full agenda, so please be on time!

dollars collected by a youth group. This was the first year for this award. We
now have the traveling trophy in our Awards Cabinet. Our club will forever be
