Cloverly Greetings,
Next week marks Volunteer Appreciation Week (April 21-27), and I couldn't be more excited to honor and celebrate our outstanding volunteers! Their hard work, passion, and dedication are the foundation of our 4-H program. From guiding projects to organizing events and supporting our youth, our volunteers truly make a world of difference in the lives of our members.
As we celebrate this special week, I also want to extend an invitation to anyone interested in joining our incredible team of volunteers. Whether you're a parent, a community member, or an alum who wants to give back, we welcome your enthusiasm and unique skills. Volunteering with 4-H is a rewarding experience that allows you to positively impact the youth of Chippewa County.
If you know someone who may be interested in volunteering or would like to get involved yourself, please reach out to our office! We'd love to connect and explore opportunities for you to contribute your time and talents. Together, we can continue to build a thriving, supportive, and empowering 4-H community.
Thank you again to all our volunteers for your dedication and committment to Chippewa County 4-H!
Jordan Blue
