I can’t believe the year has passed so quickly!! As our council term comes to an end, I would like to share a little of what has happened this month as well as a little of what State Council has been for me.
The big event of January was the 2009 Pennsylvania Farm Show. As council members, we represented the PA 4-H program at the Governor’s Dinner and the Opening Ceremonies. My role in the ceremony was quite exciting. Along with other commodity representatives, I entered the large arena on a wagon, and then each representative was introduced before the ceremony continued. It was fun to meet and chat with other young leaders from across Pennsylvania. Also, I helped for a short time at the 4-H booth on Sunday, helping youth make “Gardens in Gloves” I returned to Harrisburg on Tuesday to participate in a panel of young women sharing about women in Agriculture. I enjoyed hearing the others perspectives, especially as I continue my education. It was extremely encouraging!
Now that I have recovered from Farm Show, the PS4-HC has another big weekend ahead…..State Leadership Conference!!! We are going to have a blast “Diving into Leadership”! This past year has helped me grow in so many ways. I feel as though I am more responsible and a better leader. I also greatly appreciate the friendships I have developed and the many opportunities to give back to the program that has made such a huge impact in our lives. Thank you to all who offered your assistance to the 2008 Team!
Best wishes to the 2009 State Council and to everyone in 4-H, get ready for another great year!
Yours always,
Danielle Shaffer,
2008 Pennsylvania State 4-H Council President
