Weeping Willow 4-H News

After our December Meeting, we packaged gifts and signed cards for the Meals on Wheels individuals. Then, we joined the Spring Valley and Busy Bees 4-H Clubs for our first combined clubs activity. They hosted a Christmas party filled with fun party games, a gift exchange, and snacks for all to enjoy. The Smith Family delivered the packaged gifts to Meals on Wheels after the party.
