2016 Fall Forum was a Success!! Written by Laura Huber

Fall Forum is an annual, statewide event that focuses on training youth and adult volunteers. That may sound dull, but it’s really so much more! It offers opportunities to meet 4-H members from all across the state, build friendships and share ideas. It helps rejuvenate tired leaders and fosters the development of meaningful youth and adult partnerships. It features hands-on learning in a wide variety of interest areas. It is anything but dull.

Wood County 4-H was well represented. Sixteen youth from Kountry Kids, Marawood County Line Riders, North County Line, Richfield, Webster, and Wittenberg Workers attended along with seven adults. This was the first Fall forum experience for six of those youth and two adults. Our representatives participated in small, hands-on classes of their choosing and also dynamic, full-group sessions. Everyone learned some valuable lessons to bring back home.

On Saturday, Jerry Lang was inducted into the Wisconsin 4-H Hall of Fame. His induction represents a lifetime of hard work and dedication to 4-H. If you’d like to watch Jerry’s acceptance, log on to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfWSxCLuzNc. Jer’s presentation begins at minute 42:40.

Congratulations, Jerry!

We’re also excited to announce that Jessica Lewer of Marawood County Line Riders was elected Co-Vice President of the Wisconsin Leadership Council (WLC). WLC is an organization of youth and adult leaders dedicated to the enhancement of 4-H in Wisconsin. Learn more about WLC at: http://fyi.uwex.edu/wi4hvolunteers/wi-4-h-leader-council. Congratulations Jessica! And thank you for your service!

Youth in grades 7 and up should seriously consider attending Fall Forum 2017.

Save the date now: November 3rd-5th 2017 at Green Lake Conference Center.
