If you can't tell, I'm excited about this! Christmas means tradition, family, friends & fun - all things that I love. I wanted to take just a minute to let you know about some great opportunities & general cool stuff that is going on around here right now.
NCSU has used science to prove how Santa can deliver all those presents at once each & every Christmas Eve! I always asked that question when I was little, and now they have figured it out. Click here to see how the science works behind the sleigh!
Richmond County 4-H will come together to have our 4-H Christmas Project next Tuesday at 6:30. We will meet here at the Agricultural Services Center in Rockingham. We will have dinner, play some Christmas music, maybe look at some pictures from the last year and complete our service learning project. This year we are again collecting donations for the Back Pack Pals program in Richmond County. This fellow United Way Agency provides food to children in our schools who may not have access to nutritious food during the weekend. The club that contributes the most items gets a pizza party on 4-H! They sent home over 350 bags right - let's try to supply them for a week!
If you are still looking for that perfect present for your loved ones, there are a couple opportunities to support Richmond County 4-H while you shop. United Way volunteers are wrapping presents for donations at Belk in Rockingham on weekends & the week before Christmas. Stop in & get your presents wrapped with all the donations going to Richmond County United Way Agencies.
Last, but certainly not least, you can visit JCPenney in Rockingham December 4th - December 13th for the JCPenney Round-Up. When you check out, the associate will ask you if you would like to round up your purchase to the nearest dollar. All proceeds from the Rockingham store goes to Richmond County 4-H to purchase curriculum. JCPenney has hosted two Round-Up events this year and have contributed nearly $700 to the program this year.
