4-H Junior Leaders is a group of students aging from 7th to 12th grade. Our most recent meeting took place on Tuesday, October 6th. We discussed our upcoming meetings and events for different parts of the club. We also talked about our mum sales, WE SOLD 224 MUMS!!!! We are very grateful to everyone that ordered them. The money that was raised from the mum sales will help 4-H members go to different camps and competitions to represent our parish throughout the year. We are starting our sweet potato and pecan sales, Information on them is listed below. We also collected items to go towards kids that are in Foster care, we received many donations and are thank you to everyone who donated, it really means a lot and will help these kids.
