A Note from Miss Caitlyn
Dear Lincoln, Logan & McPherson County 4-H Families,
A big congratulations to two of our volunteers Chase Prentice and Nancy Lashley! Chase is one of eleven individuals receiving the Emerging Adult Volunteer award. Nancy is receiving the Outstanding Adult Volunteer award. Both of these recipients are very deserving of this recognition. Please help me congratulate them! :)
I encourage you to check out our summer workshops. This is a great way to complete a project that can be entered at fair with 4-H friends.
A friendly reminder that TODAY is the deadline to enter the Performing arts contest on April 30th. Communication skills are essential to many careers that might interest you. I would strongly encourage you to consider participating. If speech isn't your thing, maybe a PSA or video communication is. There are many options and I know you can find a spot that fits you.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,
Miss Caitlyn
