Heart of 4-H Award Winner

Jo Fujan

Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Jo Fujan as winner of December’s “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service. Jo has held many roles during her nine years as a 4-H volunteer: organizational leader of the Shining Shamrocks 4-H club; project leader for Liberty Bell Laborers club; member of 4-H Council; and County Fair 4-H superintendent in the areas of Clover Kids, Clothing and Life Challenge.

“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it’s a great way of working with youth of all ages,” says Jo. “My favorite experience volunteering at the County Fair was helping as co-superintendent of clothing and working the Spudfest and concession stand. I always enjoy working with the Clover Kids Show and Tell.” Jo lives in Lincoln with her husband, of whom she says, “Bill has been very supportive of my 4-H work -- he was a great help with the first Spudfest!” They have three adult sons and a daughter, Monica, who is currently a 4-H member.

In addition to volunteering for 4-H, Jo is on the Booster Board for Pius X High School, is an active band and theatre parent, is an active member of St. Patrick Parish, volunteers at the Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach, and is a past Cub Scout leader. Her favorite way to relax is baking, reading and “loafing.” Congratulations to Jo! Volunteers like her are indeed the heart of 4-H!
