4-H members from all over Live Oak County attended events throughout the week of October 4-10 to celebrate National 4-H week.
On Sunday, George West 4-H Club kicked off National 4-H week by hosting a pizza party. Several 4-H members from the George West and Longhorn 4-H Clubs met early Monday morning at the Live Oak County Courthouse on Oct. 5 for the 4-H flag raising ceremony. On Tuesday, the 6, the Three Rivers 4-H Clubs met at City Hall to raise the 4-H flag in Three Rivers. 4-H members wrote letters to soldiers on Wednesday the 7th and made placemats for the nursing homes on Thursday the 8th. Then on Friday, the 9th, 4-Her’s prepared baked goods to take to the nursing home or to elderly community members. The week ended on Saturday, Oct. 10 with a large “One Day” community service project. All over the state 4-H clubs went out into their communities to lend a helping hand in their communities because “one day can make a difference”. Live Oak County 4-H members started off the morning by meeting at the Live Oak County Courthouse to complete a rock garden project at the corner of Houston and Guadalupe Streets. The garden features a large green clover with the 4 Hs inside the clover and surrounded by white rocks.
Following the garden project, 4-Her’s met at the City Park to celebrate their accomplishments. 4-H members then gathered the placemats and baked goods that they had prepared earlier in the week and distributed their items to the nursing home residents in Three Rivers and George West.
In addition, 4-H members started the year long community service project, “Pennies for Change”. This project helps support the cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Community members can help with this project by dropping their spare change into the green cans located at various business establishments throughout the county.
4-H members ended the day with a cook out celebration hosted by Three Rivers 4-H Club at Tips Park in Three Rivers. Thank you to all of the community businesses and leaders that supported this week long community service project.
