How did the 4-H'ers earn money for this program?

                                                                                                                                                
The Shenandoah County 4-H'ers have been busy fundraising for this trip since the winter months.  They planned and conducted several fundraising activities and events which included car washes, a steak dinner, a county 4-H T-shirt sale, and a BBQ pork sandwich sale in addition to sending letters to local businesses and civic organizations requesting donations.  The group pledged to visit clubs and groups during the next year to share a powerpoint program about their trip. 
Not only were they successful in their fundraising efforts, but they also built teamwork and leadership skills as they planned and carried out these activities.

As part of their service project, all of the 4-H teens have been collecting school supplies to bring to the Dominican Republic to donate to a little school  in Veron that we have helped every year - Colegio Elizabeth.
