Kudos to our very own Mary DeGraff. She is working on her Diamond Clover Project and made a movie. See it below. It was published on March 4, 2017.
Mary's 4-H Diamond clover project earned her the Nebraska's Senior Representative at Prudential Spirit of Community Award. To donate to Mary's project go to: www.akcreunite.org/donate/ and in additional comments please designate CASS COUNTY EMA NEBRASKA.
