2001 State 4-H Roundup

On July 23-27, 350 senior 4-H'ers gathered at UT in Knoxville for 4-H Roundup. In between competing in Project Achievement Day, attending workshops, and touring the campus, they made time to do something for other people.

Delegates participated in four service learning projects that were planned by State 4-H Council. First, they donated school supplies, such as pencils, markers, crayons, pencil boxes, paper, scissors, rulers, glue and erasers. Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation and Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency also donated coloring books, crayons, and erasers. Then, over eighty delegates assembled the supplies into 130 back-to-school kits, with some to spare.

When they weren't busy in the assembly line, they constructed ABC flashcards. Later that afternoon, over 50 delegates made bookmarks that contained good wishes, encouragement to read, and messages about 4-H.

The back-to-school kits, flashcards, and bookmarks were donated to an organization in Knoxville called LAMP. The Lonsdale Area Mentor Program, part of Soar Youth Ministries, works with over 250 students at Lonsdale Elementary School. Many students there do not have the necessary supplies and support that they need to succeed in school. The delegates to Roundup were thrilled to be able to play a part in preparing these children for the future.
