The Lee County 4-H Trail Blazers club recently took part in the “Youth against Poverty” Initiative, a multi-state 4-H Day of Service Project. The 4-H Trail Blazers built raised garden beds and planted vegetables for urban and underprivileged youth at a local Preschool in Fort Myers. The vegetables grown from these gardens will be the only fresh produce some of these youngsters have available to them. In addition to planting a nutritiousgarden, the Trail Blazers pulled weeds and spruced up the onsite preschool and adjacent local Soup Kitchen with new flowers, bushes and mulch. The new landscaping will bring a fresh look and offer hope and cheer to those most affected by poverty in our community. By joining together with other 4-Her’s across the state and country we hope to make an impact on our local community. The 4-H Trail Blazers would like to thank Forestry Resources of Fort Myers for their generous support of this project.

I watched Luke Turner from your 4-H Club give an excellent presentation tonight to the Board of County Commissioners (9/5/12) about all the fabulous volunteer projects you're involved in throughout Lee County and I was truly impressed. I was especially interested in your project to fight obesity and wanted to chat with Luke about opportunities to work with us, BikeWalkLee, on efforts to make Lee County a healthier place to live through complete streets and more livable communities initiatives. Would love to get in touch with Luke. Please e-mail me at: dletourneau@bikewalklee.org. Thanks. Darla Letourneau
