In Spring of 2019 we determined there was a need for a volunteer training to better organize and support our clubs in our county.  In Fall of 2019 we hosted a Volunteer training with 12 volunteers in attendance.    Volunteers were present from multiple counties in District 4. Volunteers received an appreciation gift for attending and dinner. Evaluations of the program stated:

-In the Future Volunteers would like to see improvements in the training: -More Participation (23%), Networking Opportunities for Volunteers (55%),

-In the future 44% of participants would like agents/specialists/and experienced volunteers to lead sessions.
