Big Sweep AGAIN!

Hello 4-H members,

We were scheduled to clean Leonard Park this morning in Ramseur. Only two members attended! What a really poor turnout! Did you forget? Did you sleep late? Well anyway, we still have a job to do! Evan and Ben picked up 8 bags of trash, however, there is so much more to do. Let us plan to clean the Park sometime this week to keep our promise to help keep our waterways clean.

I will be in touch with you this week. We need your help! Making the Best Better in Randolph County, with 4-H!
