WELCOME OUR ALL STAR FOR 2017-18, EMMA DOHERTY!
Our 4-H All Star is Emma Doherty of Arbuckle. One of her favorite 4-H memories was from one of her early years in 4-H when she showed Rabbits. She had a Holland Lop named Paco and he was “the best show bunny ever!” He was awarded Best of Breed that year and won 1st place in Novice Showmanship that year.
After Rabbits, she moved on to showing lambs and has done so ever since. She shows the lambs through FFA, and her 4-H projects are Embroidery and Wool Felting.
Emma has been an officer for Arbuckle 4-H for the past two years serving as Attendance Secretary and Recording Secretary. This year she is the Vice President.
Besides 4-H and FFA, she is involved in the Pierce High School Volleyball team, Golf team, Junior Class President, and Dynamix Club Volleyball.
Council meetings take place on the 3rd Wednesday of every other month. The next council meeting is Wednesday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. in the CIP Conference Room. All club representatives, volunteers and youth are welcome. Decisions are made here. Join us! Any questions, please contact 530.458.0570
