major role in organizing a
course last winter on
physical fitness and personal
grooming. The well-attended
countywide 4-H event in
volved seven speakers,
including several
representatives of the health
care field.
Valerie became involved
, 1 n >\hen she was eight
and over the years has been
very active in club work,
often in a leadership
capacity. Besides health, her
other projects include dairy
foods, sewing, sheep
production (she helps her
dad manage the family’s 20-
sheep flock), goats, and
rabbits. She’s often shown
animals at the State Fair in
Harrington and is a member
of the county’s successful 4-
H livestock judging team,
which competes in several
out-of-state events each
year
4-H clubs are set up so that
specific skills are taught by
volunteer leaders with ex
pertise in those areas.
Valerie’s health project
leader is Mrs. Jeanette
Lowman, supervisor of day
nursing at Union Hospital in
Elkton, Md With her help,
Val has been able to meet
some of the different
specialists involved in health
care there and to observe
some of the inner workings
of the hospital. Among other
things she has observed an
autopsy, and accompanied a
dietician on rounds • with
diabetic patients

m the hospital’s external
disaster drills, when the 14
members of the “Porter
Gang” serve as volunteer
“casualties.”
She also had a lot to do
with getting her club in
volved in helping the elderly
residents of Wilton’s new
senior center. Initially she
and other Porter Gang board
members (she’s the
treasurer) were looking for a
“grandmother” and
“grandfather” to adopt.
They ended up essentially
adopting all 116 residents of
the three-story complex
providing everything from
blood pressure checks to
talent shows, plowing and
helping plant a garden,
serving an occasional lun
cheon, bringing in group
birthday cakes, making
special holiday boxes and
baskets, caroling at
Christmas, and m other
ways showing these people
many of them lonely and
living out their last years on
limited funds—that
somebody still cares.
Valerie isn’t sure yet about
her career goals But one
thing is clear—she’ll
probably go into some kind
of helping profession, either
nursing or radiology most
likely She’s also considered
becoming a veterinarian's
assistant because of her
experience with animals.
Whatever she does, her
scholarship will help get the
kind of training she needs.
Beaming about her
national award, Val says she
couldn’t have done all this
without the enthusiastic
backing of her folks, Angela
and Cliff Moore, long-tune
club leaders
