Everyone has a "Mr. Nelson" in their life, someone who could use a little cheer. Maybe it's a grandparent who's missing you, a friend with a birthday coming whose party has been cancelled, a teacher you miss seeing...Our 4-H motto is "To Make the Best Better"... Today, we challenge you to make someone's day better!

Get out a pencil and paper, and write a letter to someone you know or maybe who you don’t know (I am sure the senior centers or hospitals in your area could use some cheer for their patients!) Send some sunshine to them in a letter. Maybe include some art work, or make the card you write the letter in (Excellent inspiration in the photos below!). Stick a stamp on it and send it today. It’s a gesture that won’t take you much time, but will mean a lot to the person getting your mail! 

Don't forget to take a photo for us and share on Alaska 4-H Facebook page or with your local district!

Another 4-H'er chose to make Thank You cards to deliver to all the people in her community that are helping out during this difficult time:

Who will YOU send a letter to?  Don't forget to share a photo to Alaska 4-H facebook post!
