Leadership

Thank YOU Clermont County 4-H Volunteers!

Volunteers are an essential resource and we were pleased to come together Friday evening in recognition of all the great advisors, parents, youth and community partners that make Clermont County 4-H possible.

Clermont County 4-H is fortunate to have 226 volunteers working with youth in 38 community clubs; we’re thankful for each and everyone of them.  We were proud to present Brenda Bayne and Mary Huddle with the Clermont County 4-H Committee Leadership and Service Award.  Brenda is the head advisor of Ruff ‘n Stuff 4-H’ers and serves as an active member of the Clermont County 4-H Committee. Mary is the head advisor of the Young Riders 4-H Club, serves as the Horse Consultant for the Clermont County Junior Fair and is an active member of the Clermont County Horse Committee. Both Brenda and Mary are dedicated leaders who ignite a spark in the next generation by sharing their passion, knowledge and skills.
Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate and to those who continue to give unselfishly of their timeand talent to make the best of Clermont County 4-H even better!
