Recently the 4-H Honor Club held its annual initiation. The 4-H Honor Club is statewide and was instituted to further 4-H Club work throughout the counties of Tennessee. Its chief purposes are to provide recognition primarily within the county to 4-H Club members who have shown consistent leadership ability, and have been helpful members in their clubs and their communities and to encourage young people to continue their work in 4-H and their service to others. This year's new initiates are, from left, Jessica Osterhaus, Bryce Coffey and Matthew Parker.

Honor Club members also elected new officers. From left: president Timothy Martin, vice president Jon Osterhaus, secretary Jacob Wade, reporter Brigette Swafford, junior high representative Joshua Wade, 9th-10th grade representative Bryce Coffey and 11th-12th grade representative Matthew Parker. The focus of the 4-H Honor Club is service. Martin is leading this group in a service project each month through 2015. In January they collected for a mission trip to provide hacky sacks to the children of Haiti. This month, they collected money to help grant a child a wish for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The club is planning more projects for the year.
