MONROE — Green County 4-H held its annual Awards & Recognition Ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 13 where numerous youth and adults of the 4-H program were recognized and thanked for their efforts in promoting and supporting positive youth development. 

4-H record books are a means of tracking and reflecting on the progress a youth has made on a project over the 4-H year. Accumulating points during record book reviews earns youth a bronze, silver, gold, or emerald pin. This year’s bronze pin winners were Mickaelynn Andrews (Washington Center), Aleczander Johnson (Next Generation), Megan Leitner (Cheese Country Clovers), and Lillian Sievers (Clarence Bridge Pioneers). The silver pin was awarded to Mirielle Smith (Washington Center). No gold or emerald pins were awarded this year.

Adult volunteers were also recognized for their years of service to Green County 4-H youth. Adults serving 20 or more years at this time are Tina Straws (20 years); Valerie Wymer (25 years); Leilani Erb and Rae Wellnitz (30 years); Patricia Sleiter (35 years) and Connie Heimann (40 years).

Other awards and recognition given were for First Year Record Books, Cloverbuds, Cloverbud Graduates, Project Awards, Project Category Awards, Outstanding Record Books, Club Historian, and National 4-H Week Window Displays.
