Achievement Celebration

The year 2020 has been a year of obstacles, frustrations, and a lot of change.  Despite everything, we all adapted to the change and finished the 2019-2020 4-H year with our heads held high and hopes for a brighter future.  We here at the Extension Office are proud of all of our members, leaders, volunteers, and friends for the perseverance you all have shown over the course of the 4-H year.  Although we were unable to hold an in person Achievement Banquet, we are delighted to celebrate all of your achievements over the year.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being patient with us through this ever changing year and thank you for all of the help you have given us.  Without you, we could not make 4-H possible.   

The video compiled by the office is available at:  http://bit.ly/20BAAC  We are aware of omissions.  None of this was intentional.  Please forgive our mistakes.  Please do let us know if you are missing something in the club packet.
