Neillsville Lights Milk Challenge a Success
The Neillsville Lights 4-H club accepted the milk challenge! In
February the club had a penny war at or their monthly club meeting.
The officer that had the least amount of pennies in their jar,
would dress up as a cow for one hour at the IGA to col-lect
donations for the milk voucher fund-raiser. We collected $67.27 in
pennies! And our club secretary, Addison Anderson- Ruskin, had the
least number of pennies, so on Friday, March 8 she dressed in the
cow costume at the IGA. With the help of club members, Ali &
Braelyn Anding, and Claiton Anderson Ruskin, she greet-ed customers
at the IGA for one hour. Due to the graciousness of our community
another $405.48 was collected. Our club will be purchasing $472.75
worth of milk vouchers (208 gallons) from Hansen's IGA to donate to
the Clark County Area Food Pantry & Resource Center in
Neillsville.
Pictured above (l-r)—Claiton Anderson Ruskin, Ali Anding,
