Another one who bleeds green! I was a member from 10-18, was a club leader for over 15 years and sewing project leader for about 4. I have also judged exhibits and presentations at county and state levels. I now work with the local alumni chapter. It costs to join 4-H, so our goal is to offer a scholarship to a graduating HS senior and help offset membership fees. Ex 4-H'ers think about that in your own area even if it's not where you grew up. There are kids out there who would benefit from your donations.
I was once a shy little girl--some people don't beleive it, but I was. 4-H taught me how to speak in front of a group and how to organize a presentation. I met DH while showing dairy cattle at the county fair; over 40 years later we are still working with milk cows and now our grands are following down the green brick road!
