Healthy Summer Snacks was the program topic for the May meeting of the Black Bear 4-H Club.

Mike Manders, Grand View Lodge executive chef, arranged for club members enrolled in the Food and Nutrition project to work with him in Grand View’s kitchen to prepare snacks to serve at the meeting.

“Mike is a great 4-H parent,” said club leader Cindy Terwilliger. “At the first meeting he attended with his son, Christopher, he offered to do anything he could to help the club learn about food and nutrition.”
