From the Archives: 4H Helping Hands Fundraiser 2013

From the email archives, April 2013:

Fellow 4Hers,

It is with great pleasure that I am writing to say that thanks to all of you, the work days were a complete success.  We had 45 people attend over the two Saturdays and everyone worked very, very hard moving 18 tons of dirt over steep, snowy terrain. 

We exceeded all our most ambitious hopes and ended when we ran out of dirt.

Congratulations to Almelund Allstars on winning the pizza party for the most volunteers! 

Shout-outs go to Gwen S who arrived first and kept the rest of us hopping trying to keep up with her and to Christi and Nathaniel P who worked both days.

As new farmers, we are so very grateful to 4H for all we've learned, for all the help we've received, and for the warm welcome you've extended to novices.

You all will be invited back once there is something to harvest and you will always be remembered fondly for your neighborliness.

I am happy to be sending in a check to Chisago County 4H for the full amount of the fundraiser plus a bonus in gratitude.

We are deeply honored to be a part of the 4H family,

The Reisdorfs- Tim, Amy, Anjali, and Mark
