 The two
clubs will be collecting Caps for Benches. In the program, the
community is asked to save and donate plastic caps to the project.
The caps will, in turn, be re-purposed into benches that will be
given back to the community.
Cap collection points have been set up at Atlanta National Bank, the
Atlanta Post Office, and Olympia South Elementary School in Atlanta.
Also, if you are unable to deliver caps to one of these three
locations, you contact members of the two 4-H clubs, and they will
make arrangements to come collect your donation.
The clubs recently spent an evening working on the kick-off of their
project.
After
working on their community service project, everyone enjoyed a pot
luck meal at the Atlanta City Park.
Afterward, the 4-H'ers finished off the evening working together to
solve problems and complete the 4-H Challenge Game - Body Detective.
