CloverGram February, 2025

Woohoo!

Thanks to volunteers, families, youth members from several clubs, and the leaders from the 4-H Council itself, Council will have money to give this year in grants and scholarships, money to purchase awards and volunteers’ name badges, money to support youth conferences and chaperones’ expenses, and maybe even more!  The Train Show was very well attended by the public, and our volunteers scrambled and scraped to meet all the needs!

SO many thanks to the clubs that helped!  Some folks came both days!  If I missed your club’s contribution, please let me know, so I can Woohoo you next week!  Kudos to…
