Sam and Shellie were also awarded with the Bill Erickson Outstanding Leader Award. This award is given by the Weld County 4-H Foundation and is in honor of Bill Erickson. Bill served as a volunteer leader in Weld County 4-H for over 65 years. During that time, Bill impacted the lives of thousands of youth by encouraging and teaching them life skills through positive youth development. His legacy as a diligent and dedicated volunteer with a passion for service to 4-H is what this award is all about. The recipient was recognized at the 4-H Recognition Night in October and will be receiving their plaque tonight. Congratulations to them both.
Congratulations to all the Scholarship Winners! Good luck to all of the scholarship winners in their future endeavors.
Also, the Weld County 4-H Foundation was presented a check for $26,000 from Weld County 4-H Mardi Gras from their fundraiser.
