Editor:

I would like to thank all of those people who have supported Montezuma County 4-H for the past 15 years.

When I turned 8, I joined 4-H and was actively involved for 11 years. I did a variety of projects like cake decorating, quilting, junior leadership, market sheep and more. The County Fair Livestock Auction helped me earn money to put towards college. I am so grateful for support of the many buyers and add-on donors I had through out the years. The contributions and support of many businesses and people in this county helped me get a college education. I graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho in April with a bachelor’s degree in agribusiness.

I am currently employed for Western AgCredit as an evaluator and will eventually become a rural appraiser. I will be forever grateful to the buyers and add-on donors who helped me achieve my dreams and prepare me for life. I know the 4-H and FFA programs help youth become better people and prepare for their future. I want to thank everyone for their support and involvement in these programs; you helped me succeed in life and I know that your continued support will also be a blessing in other youth’s lives as well. Thank you!
