Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Lois Muhlbach of Lincoln as winner of the March “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.
She has been co-leader of the Pick-A-Pig 4-H club for about eight years. At the Lancaster County Super Fair, she is an assistant Superintendent of the 4-H Swine Show and she has volunteered at 4-H Council’s food stand.
“Working with the 4-H’ers is a great experience,” says Lois. “I love their enthusiasm. Our club builds confidence in its members. It is thrilling to see them grow in abilities and show responsibility for their pig project, as well as helping other members of the club. It also provides an agricultural/farm experience for urban youth. They learn in a real setting how farms work — including how pork gets from the farm to the table, plus responsible animal care.”
Lancaster County 4-H thanks Lois for donating her time and talents. People like her are indeed the heart of 4-H!
