When disaster strikes a community, 4-H'ers are there to help.
This September 4-7, members, clubs, and families of 4-H are coming together for a community in Greensburg, Kansas, to help raise a 14,000 square-foot barn in just four days. In May 2007, a catastrophic tornado struck Greensburg and wiped out nearly 95 percent of the town, including the Kiowa County 4-H Livestock Pavilion. The barn raising event will bring members of the Greensburg community as well as volunteers from around the country together to rebuild the important 4-H landmark.

Dr. Dan Kugler, Deputy Administrator, United States Department of Agriculture and Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, paid a visit to Hawaii 4-H military programs on May 15-16 for their end-of-the-year military 4-H club training and recognition ceremony on the USS Missouri.
It all started with a question from a 4-H director: How could Jodilyn Marrs, a 10-year-old 4-H'er from Plantersville, Texas, better her community? Jodilyn's answer was to bring a smile to the elderly members of her community who are often forgotten in retirement homes. What better way to do this than with a teddy bear? Jodilyn collected more than 250 bears, as well as other stuffed animals, and distributed them to 188 retirement home residents on Valentine's Day. This simple idea was a huge success and fun, too. "Some smiled from ear to ear. Some even cried. I felt proud that it was my idea!" Jodilyn said.
