Youth Action Day-November

Youth Action Day is intended to promote intergenerational activities. Klassy Kids 4-H group joined North Baltimore Gleaner members at Walmart in Bowling Green on November 13 to shop for items to be donated to the community. Each child and adult were given $10 to shop for items. Then, each 4-H member was paired with a Gleaner member(s) to look for ideas together. I do not know who had more fun, the adults or the children.

After shopping Gleaner members met at Rod and Becky Lucas’ house for a business meeting. A list of charitable organizations and donation amounts for the fiscal year (September 2016 – August 2017) were agreed upon.
