Limecreek Limelights gives for the holidays

The Limecreek Limelights 4-H Club met in December for a fun evening of holiday giving. The club collected hats, mittens and scarves which were donated to the mitten tree in Wellman. After Christmas the ALC service club will distribute these items to children at Sunrise Daycare and Wellman Elementary School.

The club also went caroling at Parkview Manor Nursing Home in Wayland and made a few door-to-door stops on the way.

4-H is a positive youth development program for fourth-to 12th-graders to participate in hands-on activities designed to build many life skills through adult partnerships and research-based experiences. Marianne Van Roekel and Becky Palmer are the volunteer leaders for the Limecreek Limelights. If interested in helping this growing club for the Wellman area, please contact Amy at the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.

4-H sets the example for youth to value community service and model how to give back on a regular basis. 4-H encourages youth to get involved in the community and give their time and talents to those in need.
