Cardinal 4-H Members Named Outstanding 4-Hers & 4-H Family of the Year

Submitted by Parker Page, Cardinal 4-H Club Reporter

The Cardinal 4-H Club had an exciting November! The month kicked off with the annual 4-H Celebration of Achievements Banquet for the Central Kansas 4-H District, where several of our club members received achievement pins and awards. Two of our members, Reygan Schrock & Carson Fouard, were named Outstanding 4-Hers of the Year for their hard work and leadership in the 4-H program and will have their photos hang in the K-State Research and Extension office for the next year. We also had a family from our club named the 4-H Family of the Year, the Joe & Melissa Gates Family. Great job, 4-Hers!

Our club also held a bake sale at the Tumbleweed Craft Show to raise funds for scholarships and activities during the year. We appreciate all those who purchased our goods to support our club!

At our November monthly meeting, we had a fun “soup” theme for our potluck dinner and Jacob Schmeidler, our Central Kansas District 4-H Extension Agent, did a leadership workshop for our group.

The month is wrapping up with one of our members, Reygan Schrock, heading to Atlanta, GA for National 4-H Congress, where she will expand her leadership skills and meet other 4-H members from across the country.

What a great November!
