Members, officers, and parents worked together to learn the 4-H pledge and put to gether a giant, 85-piece wooden 4-H puzzle. A member of the club, Teresa LaPinto, passed away in August after a long battle with leukemia. Members decided to make a fund to help members go to county and state activities. The 4-H Club is also helping the Ronald Mc- Donald House by collecting soda can tabs. The money for recycling these helps to pay for the housing of the families who stay here be cause their child is in the hospital. The families used to have to pay $lO a night, but now the tabs, which account for 12 percent of die budget, pay for that. We arc continuing to collect teddy bears because it was so well received last year. If you or your organiza tion has been collecting tabs, and would like to contribute, please pul the tabs at the Water Works Fire Hall anytime.
