Although we are not able to have a 4-H Awards Ceremony in person, the 4-H

Committee would like to acknowledge the winners and recipients of the 4-H

Awards and Scholarships. This year has proven to be a crazy and unpredictable

time. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate out of 2020 and focus on the new year ahead of us.

Thank you!

In Loving

Memory

Linda took over leadership of the West Sweden 4-H Club in

1995 and proudly led the club until 2006. Linda kept the

club organized during her years as club leader. She start-

ed the club’s annual Care Box Giveaway, where the club

members baked goodies and delivered specialty made

packages to the elderly, home-bound neighbors. Linda en-

couraged club members to volunteer and assist in the

yearly highway cleanup. Even after her “retirement” as

Club Leader, Linda was a great supporter of the club and

her granddaughter Savannah’s 4-H projects.

She will forever be remembered.
