A SENIOR’S VIEW
      Mistakes are learning tools available when lifestyles are in need of changing. After use, place the tool in its container on the “Memory shelf” for future use.

JUNCTION CITY MONITOR
      Soon the census forms will be sent to you. It’s very important to our school that you fill out your census forms.

FROM THE NORTH 40
      We finally have a blanket of snow in the North Trinity Lake area. I’ve been looking forward to snow all winter. Now that we have it, I’m reminded about the downside of living with snow.

4-H events
      We have been really busy this year in our club. First I would like to thank the Trinity Trust for the grant which allowed us to go camping last summer. We got to stay a week at Ruth Lake camping. We put on a camp for all of the county 4-H clubs and we also put on a two-day camp for those who could not stay.
