Clubs have until March 15, 1999 to develop and execute programs of value to their communities and send their reports to the Colgate Youth for America campaign. Participants range from five-years-olds to high school teens.

Students participating in the "Write, Care, Share" program are creating writings and art work to share with seniors in care centers and hospitals during November. The program is part of national Make a Difference Day, officially observed Oct. 24.

Students, teachers and school PTAs are coordinating the volunteer effort. Last year, the District F/School Advisory Group collected 18,000 books to donate to needy students.
