I was in 4-H from 9-12 before we moved and there wasn't a club. That's where I made my first (and last) angel food cake by hand with a wire whisk, but I wouldn't trade anything for the experience.
My boys were semi-active and then joined FFA with their animals. So now I'm working on my grandson to do 4-H activities, and he loves it. He can't wait to go to 4-H Camp again this summer.
I've worked in the Extension Office for almost 30 years, and I especially love the 4-H work. It's a wonderful program for youth.
