Tammy has served as a 4-H leader through afterschool programming for four years.
"I grew up with 4-H, 'learning by doing.' It has shaped who I am today," Tammy says. "I encourage youth to take on new challenges with enthusiasm. As a leader, I appreciated the support and friendship I received from the staff. They encouraged me to check out the project activity kits. The entomology kit was a favorite. They all served to greatly enhance the learning experience for the youth. Sharing my love of sewing and quilting has been one of my most rewarding experiences. Parents and teachers enjoyed seeing how excited and proud the youth were when they won ribbons at the fair for their projects."
