The Junior High Pure Gold Club, sponsored by Susan Waring, completed a successful year by delivering 50 birthday bags to elementary schools in the valley. This is a project they took over from the "Bethany's Birthday In A Bag" . The Birthday Bags are meant to help children who might otherwise not get a gift or get to celebrate their birthday. They finished the day by enjoying a treat at SECO Yogurt in La Junta!
