Shooting at Something Bigger

  Shooting for a small target is usually the goal of the members of the Dirty Dozen 4-H Shooting Sports Club.    The idea being the smaller the target that they hit the better their aim is.  However today they took aim at two really big targets as part of their August club meeting.  The first target is the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair where they are defending their best overall educational booth title.  I was not privileged to their top secret plans for their fair booth this year, but there was a tight huddle along with drawings and measurements going on.  I also noticed that everyone had different assignments for their role as part of the fair booth, so all I can say is these guys are taking this seriously, its no shot in the dark (sorry I could not resist).  
   The second target was making an impression on the community around them with a different type of ammunition.  Under the guidance of Club co-leader Peggy Monk, the group put together "Thanks a Whole Late" bags.  The bags were meant to say thank you to the Kiwanis who have support our 4-H citizenship program.  In the bags were coffee cups, instant latte packets, coffee flavored candy and other sundries that they might find useful.  The bags will be delivered as part of an annual event for the group with a special amount of care putting them together from this specialty club, and extreme thanks for the impact they made within our community.
