Super Special "Thank-You"
After many years of volunteering on the committee, two members are moving on to their next adventure!
Helps us thank...

Rodney Bratthauer for recruiting and securing generous sponsorships over the past few years.

Mike Hofer for leading the efforts to host the annual basketball tournament so many members list as their favorite 4-H memory.

(Neither stands still for a photo so this is the best we have!)
What's Coming Up
Scholarship Winners Announced Soon
Award letters just went out via mail for graduating seniors who applied for a scholarship from the 4-H Foundation. This year, FIVE seniors will receive funds to support their secondary education. Stay tuned for the social media announcement on May 3 on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Votes are in for the 2023 T-Shirt!
Based on the voting during March, the 2023 t-shirt will be the "Head, Heart, Hands, Health" logo. Shirts will continue to be grey!

On the back, you'll find logos of sponsors who have donated at least $500 to the 4-H Foundation.
