Port Hadlock, WA - Jefferson County (WA) 4-H has received contributions of AA and AAA eneloop batteries, plus four battery chargers from Sanyo Energy, USA. The rechargeable/recycleable AA batteries will be used to power three FujiFilm S3000 and five Kodak Z650 digital cameras that are used for the 4-H Network News club. The AAA batteries are for the RCA RP5030 Digital Voice Recorder that is used to produce podcasts of local events such as the Port Townsend Farmers Market that are published on the 4-H Network News blog. 
Pamela Roberts, Jefferson County 4-H coordinator, stated, "This support from Sanyo is greatly appreciated in our community where adults are working hard to give voice to rural youth through the use of online video and podcasting technologies. Batteries are always needed to keep activities moving forward and the fact that these are rechargeable helps get the message across to kids about using the most effective equipment with the least negative environmental impact."
