What you see: A clean workstation.
What’s really happening: Germs can linger on high-touch surfaces even when they look clean.

Although we can’t see them, germs are everywhere. Regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces is critical for preventing germ spread in healthcare settings.

πŸ˜ŠπŸ’š Service with a Smile πŸ’šπŸ˜Š

One of the best parts of the Emmons County 4-H Soup Fundraiser & Bake Sale isn’t just the food β€” it’s the 4-H members serving our community.

From greeting guests to serving soup, our 4-H youth show up with smiles, pride and a willingness to help. This fundraiser is about more than a meal β€” it’s about teaching responsibility, teamwork and giving back to the community that supports them.

When you stop by, you’re not just enjoying comfort food β€” you’re supporting Emmons County 4-H members as they learn by doing and serve their neighbors with confidence and kindness.

Thank you for cheering on our kids and helping make opportunities like this possible. β˜˜οΈπŸ’š

What is a social host?
Social host refers to adults who host parties where alcohol is served to minors on property they control. Through social host liability laws, adults can be held responsible for these parties if underage individuals are served, regardless of who furnishes the alcohol or whether they were aware the party was occurring. These laws are proven to have a positive impact in preventing underage access to alcohol through social means.
