Take a moment to stop and think...
What impact has 4-H had on your life?
Was it the structure of running 4-H meetings that you've transferred
into executive management skills? Was it doing your project work
throughout the year that exposed and guided your career choice of
today? Was it giving a demonstration that laid the groundwork for
the presentation skills you use every day or was it the just plain
'fun' that built friendships that will last a lifetime? While the
memories, knowledge and skills for each of us are unique they share
a common theme: 4-H has impacted our lives.

Here are some comments from both current 4-H members and 4-H alumni.
"When I was a teenager, 4-H gave me opportunities for new friendships,
new activities, and fun. I wrote and presented speeches and demonstrations.
I traveled to Washington, D.C. and Chicago. I met the President
of the United States - Gerald
Ford. I became a camp counselor and loved sharing my enthusiasm with
younger 4-Hers.
My 4-H projects kept me busy and I was active in Junior Leaders.
4-H gave me the confidence to apply for the Alice in Dairyland
position in 1981. I was selected the 1981-1982 Alice in Dairyland
and continued to work for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture
for 17 years.
But one of the best and most important results of
my 4-H involvement was meeting my husband, George Crave, at the
Rock County 4-H Junior Leader meetings. The Junior Leaders met
monthly and it was the Christmas Caroling party when George and
I got to know each other. We've been married 22 years now. Our
commitment to 4-H continues with our three children, Patrick, Brian,
and Roseanne who are members of the Dodge County 4-H, Portland
Boosters. And, George is a 4-H leader and I'm on the
Wisconsin 4-H Foundation Board."
