Hello Everyone! I’m State Council President Danielle Shaffer and I hope everyone’s 4-H year has started out great. I can tell you mine sure has!
State Council has been very busy lately, beginning to plan for State Day’s and the State Leadership Conference. You may have seen us at Capital Days this month. The event I most enjoyed was meeting with Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Wolff. He gave us some insights to current legislation dealing with agriculture. Another big event at Capital Days was the mock legislative session. I had the duty to preside over this event that allowed the 4-H members to put the skills they learned at previous workshops into action. It was definitely an interesting experience for me.
In my home county of Somerset, we recently held our annual presentation contest. Upon the conclusion of judging, the winning speeches were presented on stage. Topics included the importance of preserving the Black Rhino, keeping our family history alive, organic farming and hemispheric dominance of our brains. It was a great evening for all who attended!
Well, once again I send best wishes to all of you. I know this is a crazy time of year for most people. I am busy, too, with preparations for graduation and college!
Yours in green,
Danielle Shaffer
State Council President
