The Illinois 4-H Hall of
Fame recognized 65 new inductees during the 4-H Family Event on Aug. 10 at
the Illinois State Fair.
Kathleen Buse from Logan County is
included in the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame Class of 2013. Buse is
leader of the Wide-A-Wake 4-H club, kitchen manager for the
spaghetti meal sponsored by the 4-H Foundation, organizer of the
summer International Cooking Camp program and a longtime Logan
County 4-H volunteer who has put in countless hours of support
toward the local 4-H program. |
The Hall of Fame is designed to
recognize exceptional 4-H alumni, 4-H volunteers and former 4-H
staff who have a track record of extraordinary career achievement or
exemplary service to 4-H.
"This is our ninth class of
inductees since recognition began in 2004," said Angie Barnard,
director of the Illinois 4-H Foundation. "It’s also our largest
class, and we commend them for their commitment to the Illinois 4-H
Youth Development Program.
"These longtime volunteers fully
embody what 4-H strives to instill in youth," Barnard continued.
"They are caring, dedicated, generous leaders. The Illinois 4-H
Foundation is extremely proud to be able to provide this honor to
each and every one of them, and we thank them for their service to
this wonderful organization."
Each inductee received a
commemorative Hall of Fame medallion and will be added to the
virtual 4-H Hall of Fame listing at
