Laurie Bellinghausen nominated Shari for the Heart of 4-H Award, saying, " She is always going the extra mile to make sure our kids have the knowledge and tools to exceed in their 4-H projects. Shari is always so caring, energetic, and cheerful."
Shari says, "The kids are awesome, enthusiastic, and helpful, and try their best on the contests. It is rewarding to see the kids smile and be proud of their accomplishments. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is watching kids gain confidence in a project and achieve their goals. It is great.
