We're handing out balloons and selling $1 popcorn to benefit the Change For Change - Children's Health Foundation State 4-H Service Project. This is a great community service opportunity for all 4-H members. Last year we raised almost $500. If your club is already signed up, check with your 4-H leader about working during that time.
