Our members logged 4,283 hours on volunteer projects during 2010. That means Fluvanna County enjoyed $86,000 of community service. Some of our popular projects are FMG Help Desk, Lake Monticello Beautification Corps, Fluvanna Community Garden at Pleasant Grove, Children's Garden and Plant A Row for the Hungry. And we provided a couple of scholarships so that some of our young residents could attend 4-H Camp last summer.
