This week in Story County our office hosted the First Lego League Camp, a 5 day camp for kids interested in STEM. With the help of inDesign, Mia forged flyers and volunteer recruitment forms which helped promote and gather volunteers for 4-H events.
Since Erin’s project is largely focused in Nevada (Iowa), we visited the Nevada Food at First Pantry and got a better understanding of their operation and what should be planted in the Nevada Community Garden for the upcoming years since she’s working on garden plans that work for both the garden plot and the pantry needs.
Tuesday we made our weekly visit to the Beloit Gardens and harvested LOADS of peas, kale, cherries, and broccoli. Megan has received a number of interests from 4-H Clubs on leading a fair activity which she’s working on incorporating into the fair schedule.
Thursday, Erin was shipped out of the office to do a container gardening class at SHOP, the Iowa State University campus food pantry with the Reiman Gardens Grow and Give Intern, while Megan and Mia were stuck in the office with people breaking the windows (contractors, not to worry).
And now? With garden maps being drafted, 4-H flyers being designed, fairs being planned, and glass being replaced, we’re excited to continue our projects and begin working on our final presentation!
