The Waitsburg Pen Pals 4-H Club "adopted" 7- and 8-year-old boys through Adopt-a-Child and went shopping last week. Members donated $185 of their own money, parents added to the pot and the club was given permission to use $70 of club funds. The club had fun shopping for gifs totalling $233 for each boy. In addition, Cascade donated a $50 gift card, which leader Lisa Morrow supplemented to buy each boy a new pair of boots. This week, they plan to deliver sweet treats to elderly Waitsburg residents.
