Community Support award

The Community Support award was started to recognize those clubs who have innovative ideas and supported activities in our county. The contest measures all aspects of the club: membership, activities, project completion and meeting content.

Receiving the 2018 Community Support Award was the Backyard Bunnies. The projects they submitted included 3 new and 2 repeat activities. The activities included between 3 and 16 members, and up to 24 parents. Participating in Middlecreek Kids Day, Ronald McDonald House Collection, U-Turn for Christ, and giving donations to the Beaver Community Fair, the club was able to showcase their projects and give back to the community that supports them.
