One Day 4-H/Great Days of Service
October 17, 2015 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
One day 4-H is one day for all the 4-H members, parents, leaders, and volunteers to step out into their communities and county and say “thank you” by giving back for them more than 103 years of support to 4-H in Texas. This day of community service is what ever each 4-H members, club, or county 4-H Program wants it to be. It could be as simple as picking up trash and mowing the lawn for senior citizens to elaborate as hosting a 5K Walk/Run and raising money for a cause.
In Fannin County, our One Day 4-H is our Great Days of Service, which is a cooperative effort among churches, schools, businesses, other organizations and families to improve our town, develop community pride and build positive relationships.
