4-H Community Service idea
On September 15, 2009, Gretchen will be conducting a Child Safety Seat Check-up Event where she will be inspecting child safety seats for anyone needing this service.
Gretchen will be looking for Adult volunteers to help her with this project and she will be providing lunch for the volunteers.
If any 4-H Members would like to help out by preparing sandwiches and chips to feed the Adult volunteers, it would be considered a "Community Service." She will need the help of about 10-12 youth volunteers for this service.
Call Gretchen to volunteer and for more details.
