Rehearsals will begin after Jan. 1 for the group's next concert, Haydn's Creation, to be presented in the Spring of '81. Satisfaction For -v 4-H Volunteers f - t O •' .< . " More than 300 adults and teens volunteer their time n/ and skill each year to make •,,,the4-H program in McHenry county go, says Kathi Heberer, McHenry county Extension adviser. Why do these people .volunteer? Fifteen precent do so because they couldn't say no when asked. But they don't volunteer strictly because there are jobs to be done, but because they get satisfaction from doing the job themselves. When asked why they volunteered to be 4-H leaders this is the response received: To Laura Heinberg, Marengo, "I like the kids ....working with them and b: seeing them progress. Another reason to get in- ,i; volved was that it was easier for me to be involved with my children than to tran­ sport them to and from meetings or sit through the meeting." Cindy Harris, Cary, replied, "I like to work with kids. I enjoyed 4-H when I was a kid. It is very educational for children and I enjoy it better than other youth programs." Larry West, Harvard, had these comments, "There are lots of different things for kids to do, a variety of ac­ tivities. The biggest reward is watching kids grow up and seeing them attain their goals. I like working with them." Anyone who wants to share talents with young people is asked to call the M c H e n r y C o u n t y Cooperative Extension service office and ask how he can become a 4-H volunteer. The phone number is (815) 338-3737 or 4747. REPLACEMENT TAX Estimates of corporate p e r s o n a l p r o p e r t y replacement tax money to be distributed to local govern­ ments during 1980 have been revised upward from the $520 million originally predicted to $550 million, according to J. Thomas Johnson, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue. The replacement taxes substitute for money lost to units of local govern­ ment when the corporate personal property tax was abolished under the new state constitution.

ROUTE 120 McHENRY, ILL GIRL SCOUTS The Valley View Neigh­ borhood Girl Scouts got off to a super start of thel980-81 year when over 200 girls and more than 50 leaders and mothers assembled at Shabbona Hills fpr a day of getting acquainted with each other and learning what the new facility has to offer. The Cadette troop was in charge of games and they also built a big fire to cook their lunch. Afterwards, the other girls used the fire to make 'smores' for their dessert. The weather cooperated beautifully and everyone enjoyed the farm at­ mosphere of the site, complete with farm animals. Brownie Troop No. 143 and Junior Troop No. 147, both of Spring Grove, will be visiting a dairy farm as a troop outing. After that they will go on a hayride and also visit a pig farm. We hope to hear more from these new troops who have joined the Valley View neighborhood. Junior Troop No. 190 already started working on the new merit badges. They plan to go to Moraine Hills State park to earn the Bike badge and will enjoy the whole day, including lunch in the park. Junior Troop No. 320 went to Santa's Village on Girl Scout Day. It was a family outing and all the girls brought their parents, brothers and sisters. The girls went on all the rides and one of the committee moms vowed never to leave the ground again. The girls in Cadette Troop No. 41 have been very busy. They held elections of patrol leaders and court of honor the first week of October; toured the Volo Bog and then had supper at a local restaurant; and spent a weekend camping at Chapman Hills. It is so nice to have the Cadette troop numbering 30 once again and the girls have an active year to look for­ ward to.
