Miss Ross, reports that McHenry county was one of the first counties to reach their goal and has contributed the second highest amount in the state. The 4-H'ers and those who helped them are to be congra­ tulated for their efforts. Eleven other Illinois coun­ ties -- Bond, Brown, Clinton, Jackson, JoDaviess, McDon- ough, Morgan, Perry, .Sanga­ mon, Schuyler and Union -- have reached their goals. Twelve more counties are part way to their goals. Located at ChevyChase, Md., in suburban Washington, the Na­ tional 4-H center hosts more than 20,000 4-H youths and adults leaders each year.

Illinois is one of the most consistent users of the Na­ tional 4-H center facilities. More than 500 Illinois 4-H'ers and 4-H leaders have taken part in programs at the cen­ ter during the past four years. An advisory committee of Extension staff members set Illinois' goal for the expansion fund drive, Miss Ross explains. Each county goal is based on average 4-H membership dur­ ing the past five years at the rate of $1.50 per member. 4-H members will raise the amount from various fund-rais­ ing projects and activities rath­ er than assessing each mem­ ber directly. The expansion fund campaign began in June* 1969, and will run for three years. Expansion plans include in­ creasing the center's dormi­ tory space to 800 from the pre­ sent 300-bed capacity, con­ struction of a new assembly hall to seat 800 and a new cafe­ teria for 600, and remodeling of the center's Smith hall to expand educational and service facilities.
