    4-H Volunteer

    Pittsfield, New Hampshire

    “As I was brought up on a farm, I have been very interested in home activities and animals. I wanted to be involved with youth and adults, so I became a 4-H Organization leader with a club of six members and two leaders that has grown to 89 members and 31 leaders. For 60 years I have encouraged youth to be involved in local, county and state-wide events, including food show, public speaking, demonstrations and fashion revue. I have been active in other organizations that encourage and sponsor 4-H – N.H. Jersey Cattle Club, Make it Yourself With Wool Coordinator, Farm Bureau, Catamount Grange and Extension Groups.”

     

    Quote

    “Having been a 4-H member for ten years, I wanted to pass along the advantages to other youth to learn many projects, keep records, enter into competition, travel and meet new friends worldwide. Working with others developing life skills is important by ‘Making the Best BETTER.'”
