On Saturday morning the ASTRA Club of Delta cleaned up the trash along Crawford Avenue near Highway 92. The club has done this cleanup in past years as a combination of a service to their community and in honor of Earth Day and realize that it can easily be an ongoing project for the club. Club members had the assistance of an ASTRA dad, Carl Coonce, who provided a pickup to take away the bags of trash that were gathered. Pictured are Coonce and ASTRA members Victoria Coonce, Haley Donathan, Lucero Chavez and Shannon Foley. ASTRA is an international community service organization for students between the ages of 12 and 25. The ASTRA Club of Delta meets monthly at the Delta Public Library. Their next meeting will be Tuesday, May 1, at 6 p.m. in the community room.

Last week these members of the Git-R-Done 4-H Club of Delta went around town with goats in tow, holding the cute critters “ransom” in a fund raiser to help pay for a scale to weigh their animal projects. The effort was hugely successful, thanks to the generosity of local businesses who contributed more than $1,400. The scale will cost about $1,500. Club members involved in the project gathered for a quick photo and include Katie Caterino, Brooke Richards, Tanner Edenbo, Courtney Edenbo, Janeal Braslin, P.J. Germann, Colby Braslin, Cheyanne Germann, Hunter St. Clair, Zen Greenlee, Austin Germann, Jayden Braslin, Dillon Braslin and Pepper Edenbo.
