HONESDALE, PA — At Tri-Gal 4-H Club’s November 4 meeting, the club put together Big Brother/Big Sister bags for the Wayne Memorial Hospital New Beginnings Birthing Unit. The bags will be given to older siblings with a new baby in the family. Volunteers placed Play-Doh, bubbles, crayons, putty, a game, pencils, erasers, Beanie Babies and other fun things in each bag. Mary Jeanne Joyal, a nurse from New Beginnings at Wayne Memorial Hospital, came to collect the gifts. She also held a presentation on health and safety during cold and flu season and protecting infants and the elderly from RSV. She gave the club masks, gloves, lotion, soap, tissues and activity books.
