Character Counts! Jamboree
“My plant from last year is still alive!” a 10 year old boy proudly shared with us.
The San Clemente Garden Club participated for the third year in the Character Counts! Jamboree on Saturday, September 29, 2007. The national organization of Character Counts! Coalition teaches the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. http://www.charactercounts.org/.
Over 65 booths along with the Sheriff’s Dept, Fire Authority, USMC and Navy were represented. This year’s theme was “Protect Our Environment.” Our garden club chose ‘responsibility’ as the character we represented.
Our booth consisted of a table, two posters, a tub of potting soil, 8 flats of flowers and 300 plastic cups. The cups had a label with our club name and website.
We assisted 300 excited children, in planting a flower to take home. Their ‘responsibility’ was to water it regularly and plant it in a pot or their garden.
This is the most popular booth at the event and it is so fun to see everyone walking around carrying their flowers. Club members always come home with a high after working with the children.
