Eight-five 4-H youth and thirty-five adults from Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Mississippi, Perry, Scott, and Stoddard County gathered Saturday, February 15th at Kelly School for the Southeast 4-H Regional Energizer. The members spent the afternoon attending workshops titled 'Poison Look Alike', 'Flight', 'Food for Thought', and 'Leadership RAP'. After dinner 30 fleece lap blankets were assembled to be donated to Beacon Health in Cape Girardeau. The evening closed with a dance.

In Missouri, 4-H is a youth-serving organization for ages 5-18 that offers a variety of activities that allow members to "learn by doing."
