HEARTfelt Thanks
Has a 4-H Volunteer made a difference in your life? Would you like the opportunity to say thank you and show your appreciation? Then this event is for you! We are looking for 4-H members from across the state to create a brief HEARTfelt thank you note to our 4-H volunteers, arrange for someone to take their picture holding their message in front of them, and submit this photo at 4h.zSuite.org. Photos are being collected now through January 31st.
