Cando, ND

The Handy-Thrifty Helpers 4-H Club of Egeland has been busy sewing quilts and purchasing food for those in need this holiday season.  Leaders Deb Odegaard, Jannell Lagein, and Tina Koehn organized several quilting sessions for interested 4-H members over the past year. Three quilts were completed and recently presented by club members to Sarah Anderson, one of the SAFE house directors in Devils Lake. Supply costs for this project were supplemented with donations by the Young Riders 4-H club of Rocklake and Walmart of Devils Lake. Club members also purchased food to contribute to the Cando Area Food Pantry.

Handy-Thrifty Helpers 4-H members who participated in the Quilt and Food Pantry donations are:  Casey and Coty H, Danielle W, Corinna and Mandy K, Vicki L, Amanda L, Rachael, Traci, Jill, Jessi and Ben L, Kayla and Brenna D, and Karly and Adam H.  Leaders and parents who participated were Deb Odegaard, Dave and Jannell Lagein, Tina Koehn, and Gail Harder.

WEll, Dr. Attitude came and it was great!!  He is so full of the energy and positive attitude and so entertaining.  The numbers were good, around 50 Candoites came for the supper and to hear Dr. Attitude’s message.  Now all we have to do is keep up the enthusiasm and get to work on the projects.   But first,,,, Christmas and all the excitement of this Holy Season.   Later, Sandra.
