She has 12 to 14 children that need help (one on one). If Allamanda can’t provide enough volunteers she will have to have help from other chapters. A few of the volunteers said that volunteering is a rewarding experience and that the children are eager to learn. It is important that we pass our skills on to the next generations. Pattie told us that Kris Loeffler will be at the 4-H meeting in February and will teach making a ” Wish Baskets”. That is something that the volunteers could learn also.
