Linda has been a 4-H volunteer for eight years. She is organization leader for the Friends in 4-H club. She has also helped with her kids' activities in several other clubs, including The Checkmates, Rabbits R Us, Crazy Clovers and Shimmering Shamrocks. Linda has also volunteered at Kiwanis Karnival, with set up for the Lancaster County Fair and in the 4-H snack booth at County Fair.
"I have often learned as much as the kids," says Linda. "4-H is a great way to get to know your kids friends and has brought me into contact with some wonderful and talented people. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer was seeing the groups' exhibits at the fair. A close second is helping with Kiwanis Karnival. The girls come up with such great ideas!"
Linda lives in Lincoln with her husband Richard, and their four children who are all very involved in 4-H.
