Make
A Difference Day Ohio : 4-H Lends a Hand
Richard B. and
Nancy E. Stahl Family
Community
Service Grant
Ohio
4-H members, parents, and volunteers can join
over 3 million people across America and lend
a helping hand through a 4-H Community Service
Project on October 28, 2006. As a result of the
generosity of the Richard B. and Nancy E. Stahl
Family Fund we are able to announce a special
grant opportunity available to the 4-H community.
Grants between $250 and $750 for a total of $6,000
will be awarded for Ohio 4-H projects to be conducted
as a part of Make A Difference Day Ohio on Saturday,
October 28, 2006.
This year is the 15th
annual Make A Difference Day, sponsored by USA
WEEKEND Magazine and the Points of Light Foundation.
Six years ago, Ohio adopted this national day
of service as its own and has led the nation ever
since in the total number of service projects.
Honorary Make A Difference Day Ohio Co-Chairs,
Hope Taft, First Lady of Ohio, and Jim Tressel,
Head Football Coach, The Ohio State University,
team up with the Ohio Community Service Council
and the statewide MDDO Steering Committee to support
and promote this day of service. Ohio State University
Extension and Ohio 4-H Youth Development encourages
4-H groups across Ohio to “join the team” and
make a difference in your community.
Groups
