One of the ways to stay active in having a 4H club. You do so much for the kids and leaders in all things are needed. They do cooking, sewing, animals, guns, photography, gymkhana, showmanship, cooking. Do you have a special interest you would like to share with some kids. Any skill you have call and see if they are needed.
Nothing keeps you young like a child. You can be a teacher and guide the kids to a better life teaching them responsibility. You need two of you to have a club but sometimes the 4H office can help find you a partner. They don't have to have your skills just help watch kids. They even have clover buds for the ones to young to be in 4H.
Do you like to bake? Do you like to garden? Sew? hike? read?
Another way to stay active with your mind and body is to volunteer at the hospital or one of the nursing homes. It can be as simple as reading to a patient or it can be delivering books and picking them up from the library to just a simple visit. Many of these people do not have anyone to come see them so just having someone care enough to say "hi" means a lot to them.
Do you have a skill you would think would be fun to do at the senior citizens building?
4H loves almost anything that helps the kids. Are you good at teaching manners to dogs? Are you good with makeup? hair? braiding? Stop and think about what you like to do from quilting to cooking to camping skills and call the 4H office and find out how to go about it.
