                TRIBUTE TO SUGAR GROVE SUNSHINE 4-H CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Sugar Grove Sunshine 4-H Club on celebrating its 100th 
anniversary on September 24, 2016.
  Heart, Head, Hands and Health are the tenants of 4-H, and 4-H is one 
of the hallmark organizations that so many young Iowans have passed 
through during their formative years. Ever since the Sugar Grove 
Sunshine 4-H Club was founded during World War I, it has benefited the 
youth of central Iowa in countless ways. Originally called the 4-H 
Sewing Club, the Sugar Grove Sunshine 4-H Club has guided Dallas County 
area youth through innumerable fair projects, animal shows, and 4-H 
meetings, where they were able to build upon their own interests, 
create with their hands, learn about animal care, develop important 
social skills, master public speaking, and be involved in their 
communities. The skills developed and honed in 4-H stay with students 
throughout their lifetime, and the result is that our communities are 
filled with leaders who strive to do what's best for all.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent the Sugar Grove Sunshine 4-H 
Club and its members in the United States Congress. It is with great 
pride that I recognize them today. I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them 
all on this momentous anniversary and in wishing them nothing but 
continued success.
