Happy New Year 4-Her’s! As I think back over the last year and what this organization has accomplished I think how lucky I am to have such wonderful volunteers to work with. With all the time and effort you put in Langlade County 4-H would not be what it is today. As we move forward into 2017 I’m excited to see the changes that will occur, and with the help and support from all of you, its bound to be an exciting year in 4-H!
