Once again Eagle Hills Multiple 4-H Club goes large for the month of December. We were able to complete our Week of Caring. This means we perform deeds for others in need or in a way of thanking a group of people for their service for what they have done for us and our town.

The last things we did were visit seniors at Battlefords District Care Centre, Ringing of the Bells for the Empty Stocking Fund and the toy hamper project with the Battlefords and District Food Resource Centre. So, give us a moment of your time to read through this as we explain each of these events.

On the 9^th of December, we went to the Battlefords District Care Centre to have a visit with the elderly. We did many fun things at the Care Centre, such as playing both card games and board games. We, also, enjoyed a little bit of colouring with them. We had to help remind them on how to play some of the games. Overall, it was a great fun time for them as it was for us.

On December 16^th, our 4-H members took turns ringing the bells for the Empty Stocking Fund at four different locations throughout the city. These locations were located at Discovery Co-op, Sobeys, Walmart and Frontier Mall. The members worked in teams from 4:00-8:30pm. The funds which were collected were used towards purchasing Christmas gifts for the children in need in our community.

The last event was helping the Battlefords and District Food Resource Centre on December 20th. Our members and leaders met at the Food Bank to prepare toy hampers for the children and youth of our community who are in need of Christmas presents. The toys are generously donated by the community and we select the toys based on the children’s age. The club looks forward to volunteering for such a worthy cause.

Thank you for reading this article on our busy month of December. We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
