CLASS of 2009 SENIOR WALL PROJECT

Each year beginning in 2004, Georgia 4-H'ers have the opportunity to leave a permanent mark on Rock Eagle through their gift to the Senior Wall Project. This year, nearly 150 4-H'ers had their name permanently displayed at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center Senior Pavilion wall. Georgia
4-H'ers graduating in 2009 now have the opportunity to add their name to the wall with a $30 donation if you make your donation by December 31, 2008. After the early bird deadline, all donations will go up to $35, so make your gift now and honor your child by having their name permanently displayed on the Georgia 4-H Senior Wall!

We are no longer accepting names for the 2008 Senior Wall. Please consider purchasing a brick in the Legacy Plaza if you would like to honor someone from a previous class.
