Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Mary Burroughs of Lincoln as winner of the May “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.
A 4-H volunteer for two years, Mary is already making a big impact:
• Leader of the Super Shamrocks club.
• Assistant at STEM Tech club meetings.
• A superintendent of the 4-H Clothing area at the Lancaster County Super Fair.
• Instructor and volunteer at Clover College.
• Coordinator of the Lancaster County Quilt of Valor projects in 2019 and 2020.
• Assistant at pillow sewing and basic crocheting workshops.
• Contributor to the 4-H/Extension “Sewing For Hospitals” community service project.
“I love helping and sharing my talents with others,” she says. “The 4-H program shaped a lot of who I am today and I love giving back to the program. Every experience is great, but my favorite would have to be making a Quilt of Valor during the Clover College in 2019. The quilt ended up being awarded to a Lancaster County Extension intern who served in the Navy. It was an amazing experience to attend the award ceremony and hear her story.
