County Wide Attitude of Gratitude
Good Morning!
The month of November serves as a reminder to be thankful for many things and give thanks to numerous people, organizations, etc. that help us in all sorts of ways. This year, one of our club managers, Judy Giles has come up with a contest to help us demonstrate our thankfulness to those who help support our 4-H program. What you do is write thank you notes/cards to the people that helps support your project in 4-H or 4-H in general and mail them to those people/businesses/organizations. Before you mail them, Make a copy of the notes/cards and save them. I will have you turn them in at the County Christmas Party and we will count them for each person. Whoever sent the most thank you notes will win a prize. We will give prizes for 1st thru 3rd place.
If you have trouble finding addresses or need ideas of who to thank just let me know and I will see what I can find for you.
There are numerous supporters of our program so Good Luck and Get Writing!
