                      HONORING FRANKLIN COUNTY 4-H

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 15, 2010

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Franklin County 4-H for 75 years of excellence.
  The Franklin County 4-H organization originated with 10 members in 
1935, and has grown into the largest 4-H organization in the state, 
with 20 4-H clubs and 700 members. The members are led by over 300 
adult and teen volunteer leaders. 4-H engages youth to reach their 
fullest potential, while advancing the field of youth development in 
four different areas of focus: head, heart, hands, and health. During 
the 75 year history, 52 adult volunteers have served for 20 or more 
years, 9 of whom have served for 30 or more years, a true testament to 
this important program. In its 75th year, the tradition of 4-H still 
remains strong throughout Franklin county.
  I would like to take this time to commend Franklin County 4-H for all 
their hard work, and I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing 
them for a job well done.
