2019/2020 4-H YEAR
It’s time to start another wonderful 4-H Year! We have some changes this coming year.
First we would like to thank Nancy Metcalfe and Angie Boberg for all their years of
helping many members throughout their entire 4-H journey as club leaders. Many of
you may have only been with them for a short time and others finished their journey
many years ago. Nancy will continue to be part of the JB 4-H Council. Thank you Nancy
and Angie for all your hard work and many hours of enjoyment!
Next we would like to welcome our new leaders Suzanne Harwood and Kirstie Fiedler.
Suzanne will now be in charge of the Geyser Lucky Clovers and Kirstie will be the
new Stanford Scramblers Leader. Welcome to the 4-H team in your new positions!
