The Illinois 4-H Foundation annually recognizes 4-H volunteers for
exemplary service to the Illinois 4-H program. This year, 75 new
members were inducted into the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame during a
celebration Tuesday, Aug. 13 at the Illinois State Fair in
Springfield.
Angie Barnard, Illinois 4-H Foundation Executive Director states
“These long-time volunteers fully embody what 4-H strives to instill
in youth. They are caring, dedicated, generous leaders, and the
Illinois 4-H Foundation is extremely proud to be able to provide
this honor to each and every one of them to thank them for their
service to this wonderful organization.”
“As a result of these volunteers’ years of service and leadership to
Illinois 4-H,” Barnard said, “the program they love will continue to
create wonderful opportunities for the young people whose lives it
touches.”

Pam has also chaperoned Citizenship Washington Focus trips and state events in
the past and is MC/announcer for our annual 4-H Achievement & Recognition
Program. We are very thankful to have Pam as a dedicated & active volunteer and
we don't know what we'd do without her cheerful attitude and strong support of
the Logan County 4-H program. Congratulation to Pam!”
The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the statewide Hall of Fame in 2004 to
honor and celebrate extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers, and former 4-H staff.
Each inductee received a commemorative Hall of Fame medallion.
“The Foundation provides avenues to continue to support the work of Illinois 4-H
by accepting financial gifts specifically directed to the program you wish to
support,” Barnard said. “Estate planning services are available to those wishing
to continue their 4-H legacy.”
The Illinois 4-H Foundation raises private funds that are invested in Illinois
4-H programs that provide meaningful, positive development experiences for
Illinois youth to develop leadership, citizenship, and life skills. To learn
