What can I say? This has been a great 4H year; I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. I want to take this opportunity to say Thank you to all members– I am honored to represent you. Thank you to all the Project Leaders, you have put in so much time teaching and sharing with your project members. Thank you to all the parents who

have helped with everything from driving to working on a committee. A special Thank you goes out to Heather Mathews who braved this past year as our Community Leader! Thank you Carrie Jordan for sticking around another year and Thank you Heathyr Knowles for coming back to help! I can’t wait to see what next year brings. Samarra
