"My philosophy in the club was “We are a family”. Parents were always welcomed and encouraged to be involved with their child. All members were involved with community service projects, such as visits to the nursing homes, fundraising for the animal shelter and sharing their projects with other school children. Cactus Critters 4-H Club was well known in the community as a very active club. I enjoyed working with the many members throughout the years. It is very rewarding when they are grown with their own children and are now returning to 4-H to be leaders. Just when you think they have forgotten about you a card or letter arrives in the mail. My youngest child is now 23 years old but I still have a soft spot for the 4-H program. I will still be at the County Fair helping out where needed. I have met so many wonderful people through the 4-H Program. When I started as a leader in 1988, I never dreamed that I would be here for 15 plus years.
My grandchildren will becoming 4-H age before I know it so I guess I am not finished yet."
