Heart of 4-H Award Winner

Shelly Everett

Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Shelly Everett as winner of March’s “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service. Shelly has been the organizational leader of The Malcolm Clovers 4-H club for four years.

Michelle Bice (a 4-H parent) and The Malcolm Clovers nominated Shelly, saying, “Shelly has encouraged each member to participate in the county fair and has gone out of her way to help anyone who needed it. Shelly has been an inspiration to my daughter as well as others. She has also seen to it that all the girls have had the opportunity to be an officer and know how to successfully run that office.”

“I like being a 4-H volunteer because I love working with young children,” says Shelly. “Our group has learned so much through the years and they really enjoy showing their projects off at the county fair. I remember that ‘fun’ when I was in 4-H in Clay County. I also love working along side such wonderful parents as my project leaders for our club.”

In addition to volunteering for 4-H, Shelly is also in the Malcolm Parent/Teacher Organization, coaches her daughters’ soccer and volleyball teams, and helps with C.C.D. classes at Saints Mary & Joseph in Valparaiso. She lives in Malcolm with her husband Craig and daughters Payton and Maddy.

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