A volunteer for four years, Lynn is assistant leader of the Rock Creek Ranchers club based in Waverly, which has been recognized as a Nebraska 4-H Club of Excellence for several years. He helps with the club’s community service projects such as annual cleanup at Wildwood Lake State Wildlife Management Area, personal care item drive for People’s City Mission and staffing shifts at the 4-H food booth at the Lancaster County Super Fair. Lynn also helps with various 4-H/FFA livestock activities at the Super Fair.
“I enjoy teaching the kids about agriculture,” says Lynn. “4-H is diverse with everything from safety to food handling to animals. I was in 4-H growing up and I enjoy seeing all that has changed since I participated, and the opportunities kids have now that are new. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is watching the kids display their projects at the Super Fair and seeing them excited when they get a ribbon. Plus, watching the camaraderie they have together.”
