Clarno 4-H Club Makes Tie Blankets For Hospice Home

Members of the Clarno 4-H club recently had the opportunity to learn more about a difficult subject while giving back to the same cause. As part of the Explore 4-H Day event in September, Clarno 4-H club members decided to host a community service station, highlighting a very important part of the 4-H experience. Tie blankets were laid out and pre-cut, and event participants could stop for a few minutes to help tie knots on the blankets before moving on to the next station. Materials for six blankets were donated by the Green County 4-H Adult Leaders association.
