11 Reflections Dear Trumbull County 4-H Volunteers, By the next edition of The Leader, the Trumbull County Fair, a highlight of our summer, will be here and gone. I want to take a moment to thank all of the Trumbull County 4-H Volunteers for your patience, dedication and hard work over the past several months. Although I was a 4-H member, it took being an adult and becoming your county s educator to realize all the blood, sweat and tears it takes behind the scenes to make our activities and competitions come to life. I certainly could not do this job without all of your help at the committee and club level. I am so fortunate to have the volunteers that I do. You all deserve a standing ovation. Thank you again for helping me through my firsts this year as your 4-H Educator. Dear Trumbull County 4-H Members, You continue to amaze me with the amount of talent and creativity you all possess. Taking a step back to observe all of you at different events (4-H Kickoff, Proclamation Day at the Commissioner s Meeting, Officer Training, Royal Court Interviews, Jr. Fairboard Meetings etc.) I am incredibly proud. I hope for all of you that 4-H is one of your favorite activities to be a part of. As you continue along your 4-H journey, know that it will come and go like a flash. Take the jump. Push yourself to do your best, try activities you may not be familiar, practice with your projects and talk with your friends about joining this wonderful program. One day you will look back and realize the impact 4-H had on your life. I wish all of you good luck during the Trumbull County Fair and the Ohio State Fair if you may participate. Have a great summer!
