At the 2021 Henrico 4-H Shooting Shamrocks December meeting, club members wrote and decorated letters to individuals at Brookdale West End Richmond, Assisted Living & Memory Care. What beautiful cards! 

Varina Rising Stars 4-H members and leaders made beautiful Valentine Cards for the Henrico County Engage program. These cards will be distributed to long term care facilities on Valentine's Day. Such a great joint effort. Members did a wonderful job. Even a three year old up and coming Cloverbud added her art to cards she made!
