The Exceptional Children's Party, an annual event run in partnership with the Union County 4-H Cooperative Extension and the Union County Public Schools Exceptional Children's Department, brings 4-H members and community volunteers together to share holiday activities with students who have special needs.

"It's a partnership with Union County 4-H Cooperative Extension and the Union County Public Schools Exceptional Children's Department," Speaker 1, an event organizer recorded in the transcript, said in opening remarks. Speaker 1 added that the party is intended to bring 4-Hers and community volunteers together to "spread that holiday cheer to those exceptional children in the county."

Speaker 2, identified in the transcript as the leader of The Young Riders 4-H Club, said they have participated in the Exceptional Children's program parties for about 30 years, first as a 4-H member and now as a club leader. "The expression on the children's faces when they come in ... is just gratitude and excitement," Speaker 2 said, describing activities that included crafts, popcorn and ices and volunteers paired as "buddies" with students.

Organizers said each school and classroom will receive a goodie bag for every student. "Each school and classroom will get a goodie bag for each of their students," Speaker 1 said, and requested donations of items for those bags, noting that donated items are "just as valuable and impactful" as in-person volunteering.

The transcript records volunteers and club leaders describing the party as an opportunity to strengthen community ties and give students a sense of belonging. Speaker 3 commented that the event "is a good way to grow" and emphasized that volunteering benefits both the students and the volunteers themselves.

The transcript does not specify dates, times, how to donate, or contact information for organizers. Organizers in the recording said the event has operated for "over 30 years" and that donations of small items for goodie bags are welcomed, but further logistical details were not provided in the transcript.
