Awards and RECOGNITION
“I don't know of any person that volunteers to receive an award or recognition. I volunteer because I want to make a difference in and leave a positive impact on the lives of our youth. Seeing my 4-H members succeed and learn in life is truly its own reward.” Scott Lee, Vernon Parish
