The Fairfield County 4-H Treasurer’s Book Annual Contest is proudly sponsored and funded each year by the Friendly Bremen Banking Center. Thank you, Jodi Motta and Vinton County Bank, for their support and organization of this contest.
The role of the club treasurer is to handle all money matters of the club and maintain accurate financial records. When the Treasurer’s Book is complete, it should document the activities by its members for one year. It becomes a historical document to that accurately records the club’s income and expenses, and shows that the club is in good financial standing.
All treasurers are eligible and encouraged to submit a book each year. There is a monetary award that goes to the winners and they go directly to that individual. The 4-H Treasurer Book Rubric was used to evaluate each treasurer’s book that was submitted in the contest. Employees of the bank will review the books and choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner. Each member who places will receive a visa gift card.
The 2024 results are:
- Riley Strickler, 1st Place. Riley is from the Amanda Work & Win 4-H Club.
- Krosby Sims, 2nd Place. Krosby is from the Sewing Shefs 4-H Club.
- Alexis Armstrong, 3rd Place. Alexis is from the Champions 4-H Club.
These individuals will be recognized at the 4-H Achievement Banquet on April 10th and receive their awards.
