Danetta has been a parent volunteer for seven years. She is now leader of the newly reorganized Star City Llama & Alpaca 4-H club, which she helped rebuild. While the 4-H Llama show at the Lancaster County Fair was on hiatus for two years, Danetta helped present llama demonstrations. Last year, she was a superintendent of the returned and expanded 4-H Llama/Alpaca show at the county fair. (Alpacas are a recent addition to the club and county fair show.) Danetta and members of the club helped at the recent 4-H Kick Off.
"I enjoy working with the youth and watching their confidence in themselves grow as they achieve their goals," she says. "I enjoy watching the excitement of the 4-H'ers when their animal accepts an obstacle and maneuvers it willingly."
Danetta is a board member for the Nebraska Llama Association and she has been an assistant Girl Scout leader for six years.
