Season Team Hardship Awards
Dear Mr. Swayne,
I am checking on the status of the form I completed requesting
assistance with rebooting/forming a Lego Team in Lee County, Virginia
(as far Southwest as you can travel and stay in Virginia). I was just
wondering if the applications had been processed and if we would receive
assistance. I would appreciate the results of application.
Yours in 4-H!

Shelia,
Nick is the right person to contact regarding this. He is on vacation
this week, however, and will not return until next Monday, August 10th.
You can also reach his office using the contact information at
http://vadcfll.org/contact.html.
