A volunteer for five years, Cathy co-leads the Shamtastic Clovers 4-H Club, which is a Nebraska 4-H Club of Excellence. She has also taught Clover College classes and helped at crochet workshops. Cathy volunteers with her club at the 4-H food booth at the Lancaster County Super Fair.
“I enjoy the opportunity to be involved in 4-H as a family,” she says. “I’m also thankful for the time other 4-H volunteers have invested in my kids. When I’m teaching a new skill, I love that moment when the kids start talking about how they’re going to use that skill to make all sorts of things for everyone they know. It’s always fun to hear their enthusiasm. 4-H was a big part of my life growing up, as it was for my Dad. I love that my kids have the opportunity to experience it as well -- third generation 4-H’ers!”
