October Success Story

In the month of October, I had the goal of finalizing my leaders for both my Shooting Sports and Livestock programs. I was able to do that and have successfully scheduled and planned the initial meeting for both of those groups. Being the only county with Shooting Sports in this area, I believe this will be a great opportunity to reach both the youth in Perry County and possibly even some from surrounding counties. Archery has been very successful within the school systems, and I think the vast number of categories available to compete in 4H will capitalize on this success and bring a valuable and educational program to Perry County. Livestock is something that has previously been available in Perry County but due to the increase in difficulty for volunteer eligibility, it has slowly faded away. I am certain that the reimplementation of this program will lead to positive development in our students lives, teaching them not only how to care for livestock, but how to raise them to provide food for not only themselves but their entire community. Allowing them to learn important life lessons along the way.
