Pleasants County Points of Pride

• About 250 youths and adult leaders participate in eight 4-H clubs. Each group conducts at least one community service project annually.

• The 130 4-H'ers attending camp participate in classes, crafts, tribal duties, assemblies, sports, special events, council circle, and late-night sessions (for older campers). The Pleasants County 4-H Junior Leaders plan much of the program. They also teach classes and crafts.

• Approximately 25 local youths attend Alpha Camp or Older Members' Conference at JacksonŐs Mill State 4-H Conference Center each summer.

• The 125 members in eight Community Educational Outreach Service (CEOS) clubs (the former Extension Homemakers) conduct many community service programs. The clubs maintain community buildings and support 4-H clubs.

• Each year, we answer hundreds of questions about insects and plant problems. We also give away garden calendars.

• On behalf of the Solid Waste Authority, Agent Bonanno developed, submitted, and managed grants for the development of a modern recycling center and composting facility.

• Home safety programs, Safety Town, and Kid Camp programs reached more than 300 children last year with fire safety information.
