Lancaster County 4-H presents a Heart of 4-H Award to a Lancaster County 4-H volunteer each month in recognition of outstanding volunteer service. The purpose of this award is to recognize volunteers who are, indeed, the heart of 4-H.

Elva has volunteered for 4-H for about 36 years. Her son and daughter were members of the Happy Go Lucky 4-H club and Elva helped with various projects. Now she has two grandsons in the club.
For several years, Elva has been a co-superintendent for the 4-H Home Environment, Heritage and Child Development areas at the Lancaster County Fair.
"4-H projects are very educational for our young people and I want to do whatever I can to help young people stay involved in the good things in life," Elva says. "My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is seeing the joy a job well done brings to the 4-H'ers."
