(Atlantic) – Members of the Washington G.E.M. 4H Club recently took the time to decorate a tree in the lobby of the Cass County Community Building.  Each member was asked to either make or bring an ornament that describes what 4H means to them.  The club is hoping that this summer they will finally be able to celebrate their 100th year anniversary at the Cass County Fair.  More details will be released as it gets closer.

Club spokesperson Melanie Petty said the club also completed their service project for the year.  Club members were asked to donate gently used bags, backpacks, luggage, books, stuffed animals and personal care items to our local DHS office.  These items were gathered and donated to the employees of DHS to use for children in foster care.  “As you can see,” Petty said, “our 4H group really came together and we were able to donate many items.”
