Volunteering at the Kansas Food Bank - December 2014

Eight members and 4 adults went to the Food Bank in December to help pack food for backpacks that are sent home with kids over the weekends.  We took the different food items out of huge cases and repackaged them into smaller groups so that they would be easy to pack them into backpacks when they are needed. It was a lot of fun to help out with this.

Adopt a Family shopping trip

We adopted 3 kids from a family through Communities in Schools.  Our kids were an 8 year old girl, a 4 year old girl, and a 1 year old boy.  We got things like clothes, shoes, and toys for each kid.

Our first booth at the 4-H Carnival was a success.  Our booth was called "Can You Win It In A Minute".  We had 3 games, Candy Course, Water Slide, and No Hand Cup Stack.  Fun was had by all.
