HARLEYSVILLE, Pa. - it all and is a top notch
Ever wonder how some of organizer to boot,
those women you know can Donna is a wife, mother, 4-
manage to “do it all”? H organizational leader,
Donna Armstrong, 838 State craftsperson, and
Road, Harleysville, says it professional volunteer
takes organization. wrapped up into one with
time to spare for home
canning and other things she
enjoys doing when she has
time for herself.
“With the schedule I
follow,” she whispers fur
tively with a big smile and
an animated face to
highlight her story, “I often
think to myself, ‘Oh, if I’d
only have a day all to myself
when I could do whatever I
want. But, when that day
' gets here, I find myself just -
well, just rattling around by
the end of the day and it
doesn’t do me any good,
anyway.”
So, she keeps herself busy
in innumerable ways.
To begin with, she is “up to
her gilliwags in 4-H” as she
puts it. As organizational
leader of the largest and one
of the most active 4-H groups
in Montgomery County - The
Harley Hill Stitchers, she is
responsible for making sure

lose their enthusiasm and
get expert tutoring while
learning.

help me,” Donna says,

backing away from taking
all the credit. “But, I keep
myself free to step in
wherever necessary when a
leader goes on vacation.”
This club goes year round
and involves quite a bit more
than just sewing. “We do all
kinds of stitching,” she says.
“That includes embroidery,
crocheting, crewel - the
whole thing.”
During the school months,
the group meets at the
Harleysville Scout Cabin on
the first Monday of every
month. At this get together,
the girls hold their basic
business meeting and then
feature a special interest
program they have chosen.
“For instance,” says
Donna matter-of-factly,
“One of the biggest hits was
the evening we had a local
hair dresser come in and
give tips to the girls on hair
care.”
“She even asked for a
/olunteer and gave her a
jlow cut right there for all of
Ivem to see. And, they just
oved it,” Donna continues.
