Chicago Award Trip

Four Kalamazoo County 4-H members and two leaders received the Chicago Award Trip for 2008. They received the award by submitting their 4-H Member Book and being active in the many things that 4-H has to offer. Some of the exciting things they did in Chicago were go to the Shedd Aquarium, Hancock Building, Medevil Times, Blue Man Group and of course they enjoyed some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. A great time was had by all.

Portage Partners




At the December meeting, Portage Partners held a coat/mitten drive for families in need in the Kalamazoo Edison neighborhood. Although we're a small club, we managed to collect 16 coats and 55 mittens / hats / snowpants. Members also made holiday gifts bags for fun and had a holiday party.
