Mary Ruth Jaspering of Warren County is among inductees from 34 Missouri counties being added to the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame.
The Missouri 4-H Foundation recognizes individuals who have created a legacy of service to 4-H by honoring them with membership in the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame, said Rachel Augustine, director of the Missouri 4-H Foundation.
“The 4-H program would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers,” Augustine wrote in a press release announcing this year's honors. “They are the backbone of 4-H, supporting and nurturing thousands of young people every year. We are proud to recognize these dedicated people who have helped shape 4-H history.”
The 40 volunteers being inducted this year have established a legacy with a combined 1,042 years of service to 4-H. The honors were announced at an Aug. 20 ceremony in Sedalia.
“We are eternally grateful to the more than 7,000 volunteers who provide mentorship and guidance to our youth, helping them become leaders and responsible adults,” said Lupita Fabregas, director of the University of Missouri Extension 4-H Center for Youth Development.
“Year after year, our volunteers … continue to demonstrate the true meaning of devotion, compassion and commitment, helping us build a better future for the next generation of Missourians.”
