The Busy Bee Buddies, Aloha Angels, Twinkling Stars 4-H Clubs & Junior Leaders joined forces last weekend and helped put packets of a book, burp pad & brochure for newborn babies at Kona Community Hospital.

The CRIB (Creating Readers in Babies) program will distribute 600 packets — one for every baby born in Kealakekua.
