"4-H is special. What other group teaches so much while having so much fun? Throughout my nine years in the Hebron Helping Hands 4-H club, I have been privileged to work with all kinds of people from all areas of the country. 4-H gives one so many opportunities, allowing a single person to become a part of an enormous youth group. I am proud to be a member of 4-H," Dennis said.

My pro­ jects include beef production, livestock judging, safety, ceramics and bicycling. I am a junior leader in beef, ceramics, and safety. I also attended National Safety Congress for my achievements in safety. 4-H has taught me many important things such as leadership, keeping records, deal­ ing with people and most of all, respon­ sibility," Todd said.

"I'm glad I joined 4-H because without it, I would have gone through life not know­ ing what it was like to do many of the things that 'country' kids do. The main im­ portance about 4-H is that it gives us the medium to make friends. With friends you can make your years with 4-H go as swiftly or slowly as possible. In August, I will be heading to a campus with a population of over 42,000 people. That means I will have to start all over and build up a new group of friends. With the experience gained from 4-H, I think it's going to be easy," he added.
