Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment Board has no other choice but to cancel the 11th annual 4-H Legacy Dinner which was scheduled for June 11, 2020 at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds. There was simply no way possible to host a dinner for 4-H supporters and friends and be able to practice safe social distancing with over 300 attendees.
To ease the burden of the Fairfield County 4-H Clubs, the Endowment Committee is asking our friends in 4-H for a little help. Each child in the 4-H program is asked to pay a county wide dues fee of $5.00 to offset the cost of materials like flag sets for clubs, Advisor Recognition Pins and Member Handbooks for each family in the 4-H program.
With 1,000 youth currently enrolled in the 4-H program in Fairfield County, our goal is raise $5,000. Any donation of any size would be most welcome as we look new way to “give back” to 4-H youth currently enrolled in the program. If you would like to donate simply send your donation with your complete with name and address to the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment Committee, P.O. Box 564, Lancaster, OH, 43130. We sincerely thank you for your support of the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment and their new initiative. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact OSU Extension at 740-653-5419.
