Juana Reynard, a CHARACTER COUNTS! organizer in Audubon, Iowa, sent this photo of a Christmas tree local 4-H groups displayed at a recent fundraiser. The CC! tree is now bringing good cheer to a school in the area.

The tree elicited many positive comments, said Ms. Reynard. She especially enjoyed seeing children recognize the ornaments and hearing them exclaim, "We have CHARACTER COUNTS! at our school!"
