CROWN POINT, Ind. — The Lake County 4-H Program introduced the members of the 2019 4-H Ambassador Board at the annual 4-H Leadership Recognition Banquet held January 17, 2019 at Great Oaks Banquets in Cedar Lake. Twenty-one young people will serve as representatives of the 4-H program throughout the coming year and will be eligible for additional awards and scholarships. The Ambassadors were chosen based on their records of achievement in 4-H projects and activities, leadership experience, and community service. 4-H Ambassadors assist with program activities, including events at the Lake County Fair. They also work to increase public awareness of 4-H and encourage more young people to participate.
Also at the banquet, Lake County 4-H adult volunteers and Junior Leaders received pins in recognition for their service, sponsored by the Lake County Farm Bureau. The Lake County 4-H Club Committee introduced five incoming members of their Board of Directors: adults volunteers Anna Marie Gianni Biggs, Jeff Hann, and Elyse Knizner, and 4-H Junior Leaders Breanne Gatlin and Elizabeth Harkema.
