Bradley County 4-H Honor Club

The members of the Bradley County Honor Club partnered with local FCE (Family and Consumer Education) clubs, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, and area companies to make aprons for Alzheimer's patients in Bradley County Nursing Home. The 4-H'ers learned sewing and clothing construction skills, but they also gained knowledge and understanding of the needs of people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. With the help of the FCE ladies, they constructed 60 aprons. The aprons have ribbons, buttons, zippers, shoe strings, and other items that help keep a patient's hands busy and, according to the director of the nursing home, "will be very beneficial for the patients."
