4-H’ers, volunteers earn honors, awards The annual Jefferson County 4-H Awards Night was Nov. 10 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Activity Building. 4-H members were honored for their achievements in the 2011-2012 4-H year, and adult volunteers were recognized for their dedication to the Jefferson County 4-H program. 4-H is a program which encour-ages fun-filled educational experi-ences. Members attend monthly meetings and learn about project areas of their choice. The members also give presentations to clubs, per-form community service and help organize fundraisers for clubs, as well as the county program. Members create exhibits for the Jefferson County Fair based on their project areas or educational experi-ences they have had throughout the year. At the end of the year, members complete their record books along with an application highlighting projects. Awards are then given based on the information submitted by the member. For the 2011-2012 year, the Jefferson County 4-H program also recognized each member for the years of membership with a certifi-cate, a year pin and a Jefferson County banner. These items were presented to each member regard-less of completion of a record book. For more information on the 4-H program in Jefferson County, con-tact Kaye Gilbert at the Jefferson County Extension Office at 472-4166 or kayeg@iastate.edu.
