This year's Governor's Project asks the district's clubs to make a contribution in their community to Childhood Asthma Awareness.

Because the effects of asthma and led to life-long struggles, Governor Bill is asking clubs to learn bout asthma in children.

To earn the banner patch, clubs need to carry out projects such as:

• Invite speakers to your club.
• Set up an information booth or table at community events to educate the public about asthma.
• Partner with a local pediatrician or pediatrics clinic and provide asthma screening for children.
• Donate bubbles to a local Pediatric Asthma Clinic. This will help ease pediatric patients during visits while promoting proper breathing and air exchange.
• Provide allergy relief bedding to a local homeless shelter.

Updates on the project will be posted here during the year.

The banner patch application form and more information on the project can be downloaded.
