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 serice. The purpose of this award is to recognize volunteers who are, indeed, the heart of 4-H.
See All Heart of 4-H WinnersHolly began volunteering with the All American Kids 4-H club seven years ago when her daughter started 4-H. Holly took over as club leader five years ago and continues to lead the club even after her daughter went to college. Holly has also volunteered with the Pick-a-Pig 4-H club and 4-H food booth at Lancaster County Super Fair.
"It is very rewarding seeing the excitement the kids have for their projects for fair, their ideas for service and their overall enthusiasm for the club," says Holly. "I enjoy watching them start with an idea, working together to accomplish the goal, taking the opportunity to be the leader, and the pride they have when a project is finished. I believe 4-H is not just a hobby, but a way of life. It teaches many life lessons, but the best is that if you work hard and strive to do your best, you will be rewarded."
