Our first 4-H Awards program for the Family and Consumer Science 4-H clubs was held Thursday, Nov. 14, during our regular November meeting. Each member who attended meetings as well as the volunteers were recognized.  Youth were also recognized for their participation in different activities.  
Best Attendance in Clover Buds Meetings- this was a three-way tie: Abby Redwine, Gracie Summers and Meg Daves  (They attended 9 of 10 meetings).
Best Attendance in Yalobusha Buddies (aka: Older Club) – This was also a three-way tie: Darla Lim, Diane Lim and Sarah Beth Dickerson (They attended 6 of 9 meetings)
Completion of Sewing 101 Training: Breeze Hughes, Anna Reeves, Victoria Taylor, Abbigayle Taylor and Gracie Summers.
Outstanding Partici-pants of the Year: Abby Redwine, Gracie Summers and Deanna Quarles  (These youth came to meetings. They also completed the most meeting follow up activities as well as the extra activities that we participated in throughout the year.)
A special thanks to all the youth for making 4-H a priority and for the parents who take the time to bring their children to the meetings and volunteer their time and talents.
