Happy Hearts 4-H Receives Pioneer Grant for Community Help
The Happy Hearts 4-H club in Jasper County receives a portion of a $1,000 Pioneer Seed Company grant shared among 26 Iowa 4-H clubs. Proposals were chosen by the state 4-H department at ISU, with grants ranging from 25 to 75 dollars. Project chair Joyce Steenhoek leads efforts to secure a Rescueitation Anne for first aid training with Reasnor firemen, while club leaders Mrs. Keith Schwartz and Mrs. Steenhoek coordinate. A sewing demo on March 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the Jasper County Extension Office in Newton will showcase time-saving sewing tricks and designer features.
