Montgomery Co. 4-H'ers
fund-reiser for now 4-H
NORRISTOWN - The Mon
tgomery County 4-H clubs have
launched a major fund-raising
campaign to raise monies for their
new 4-H Center to be located in
Creamery.
The former Skippack School has
been purchased by the Mon
tgomery County Farm, Home & 4-
H Foundation. The building will be
developed into a 4-H Center where
youngsters from throughout the
county can gather for club
meetings, fairs, horse shows,
recreation and other educational
events. The current 4-H Center
near La ns dale has served the
program well for the past 15 years
but a larger, more adequate and
self-supportive Center will help the
youth even more, said 4-H coor
dinator Nancy Kadwill.
Total cost of the Center project is
budgeted at $950,000. Members are
actively seeking financial support
from friends, neighbors, in
dividuals and small businesses in
their communities. According to 4-
H Coordinator Nancy Kadwill,
support from the community is
crucial to the success of the
campaign. Although the money
raised is important, it’s more
important for the young people to
know that the community supports
their efforts and recognizes the
positive things they are doing in 4-
H. “The five dollar (or even one
dollar) donation from a neighbor
helps the youngster know that
others believe in what he or she is
accomplishing in 4-H” says
Kadwill.
The 4-H Club program across the
nation annually attracts several
million young Americans who
leam skills, develop leadership
ability and who grow in character
and responsibility. There are 3,200
4-H members and leaders in
Montgomery County and 81,000
throughout Pennsylvania. 4-H is a
volunteer organization open to all
boys and girls ages 8-19.
The new 4-H Center will house
several county-wide agricultural
offices that will not only seeve the
community in one convenient
location but will also pay rent
