The International Travel 4-H Club met Thursday February 10 and poured over all the wonderful gifts and letters received from 4-H members in Ghana including a beautiful shirt that they all tried on.

Everyone also sampled snacks from Scandinavia, South Korean BBQ, hummus, an Israeli dessert, French cheese and some Mexican sweets. Members also made a spring wreath for our dear friend and 4-H All Star Cathy Hudson.

The Wayne County 4-H Ambassadors made strawberries dipped in chocolate and decorated Valentine cards for residents at the Wayne Nursing facility on Saturday February 12. Lots of plans were made for the months ahead for more meaningful community service projects.

Many thanks to Phyllis Brumfield, Cathy Mathis-Smith, Becky Christian, and Connie Crockett for all their behind the scenes efforts to make this day a success. To learn more about the 4-H Ambassadors, please contact our office at 304-272-6839.
