Heart of 4-H Award winner

Tonya Beach

Lancaster County 4-H and 4-H Council are proud to announce Tonya Beach as winner of December’s “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.

Tonya has been the Clover Kids leader for The Malcolm Clovers 4-H club for one year. (Clover Kids are 4-H’ers age 5-8.)

Shelly Everett, leader of The Malcom Clovers, nominated Tonya, “Because of her love and kindness in leading our Clover Kids. She brings her past experience with 4-H along with her sweetness to teach our young generation so much.”

“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it allows me to work with children, including my own daughter, McKenzie,” said Tonya. “The children have a great time learning the valuable lessons in the Clover Kid program and I enjoy being a part of that.”

She created a 4-H banner which the Malcolm Clovers used in Malcolm’s 4th of July parade. “My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer was watching our group march in the parade,” Tonya said. “We gave the youth the opportunity to march the route by themselves to demonstrate the responsibility and respect they learned in 4-H. Needless to say, they did wonderful!”

Congratulations to Tonya. Volunteers like her are indeed the heart of 4-H!
