Dear Lincoln County 4-H stakeholders,
Lincoln County 4-H would appreciate your support in the 2024 North Platte Giving Day. Proceeds will go directly to the growth of our local 4-H program. EARLY GIVING begins today! Donations are now being accepted online at https://www.northplattegiving.org. For those that wish to donate by check, I've attached the printable donation form. Early donations by check should be brought in, or mailed to, the MNCF office (PO Box 1321, North Platte, 69103). Early donation checks should be made payable to "MNCF." We'll be setting up the four local Giving Sites early next week (Monday/Tuesday): Orr's Draperies & Dry Cleaning (one of our generous sponsors), U-Save Pharmacy (another generous sponsor), Prairie Arts Center, and Catholic School Endowment Trust Office. Check donations can then be dropped off at these locations in the marked canisters. We appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lincoln County 4-H Council
