Day 5: Rounding out our week is Ron Mustello! Ron may not lead a 4-H club, but he embodies so much of what it means to be a 4-H volunteer. Ron donates countless hours serving on the Dutchess 4-H Fair Committee as well as the Dutchess County Agricultural Society. Another Dutchess 4-H Dad, Ron has had the privilege of watching his own children move through 4-H. Thank you Ron, for all that you do!

Day 3: We are thankful for ALL of our 4-H volunteers, including the ones who volunteer their time for specific 4-H events and activities such as Public Presentations, Officer Training, Spring Food Fest, evaluation day at the Dutchess County Fair, Model Horse Show and more. Do you have a hobby, skill or passion project you want to share with others? Volunteering with 4-H does not have to be a time-consuming year round commitment! Contact the CCEDC office to speak with a 4-H staff member about short-term volunteer opportunities including single day events, day camps and SPIN (short-term special interest) clubs.

Day 2: Sally Graybill is a longtime leader of the Kids4Kids 4-H Club, with the support of her husband and 4-H volunteer Dave Graybill. Sally & Dave are pillars of the dairy goat community and are always checking in on and caring for their 4-H families. Members of the Kids4Kids 4-H Club either own their own dairy goats or lease animals from sponsor families like the Graybills. Opportunities like this give invaluable life experiences to dozens of Dutchess County youth that otherwise may not have access to agriculture. We are so thankful for all our sponsor farms and families that are willing to share their livestock and their knowledge with our 4-Hers!
