Youth Bureau honors 4-H volunteers
NORWICH – The Chenango County Youth Bureau recognized 4-H Club volunteers Louise Butcher of Guilford and Cynthia Brace of Chenango Forks last week during the final Chenango County Board of Supervisors meeting of the year.
The Youth Bureau’s mission is to the promote the welfare and protection of the county’s youths, and each year celebrates those individuals who have dedicated their time and energies toward youths programs.
“Both have been tremendous assets to youth development in Chenango County,” said Youth Bureau Director Kathryn J. Clemens.
4-H Program Coordinator Janet Pfrom cited Butcher and Brace’s tireless contributions to promoting youth development through 4-H programs and other activities of Cornell Cooperative Extension - Chenango County.
Brace, who is 4-H Club leader and volunteer with Can Do Equestrians, coordinated the organization’s animal science and equestrian club, raising $1,000 for the horse program.
Butcher, who is 4-H Club leader and volunteer with Carry On Club, was responsible for “single-handedly” taking the Chenango County Fair’s youth exhibits and 4-H participants to the New York State Fair for four days of hands-on activities and competition, Pfrom said.
Brace said the youths learned a lot about horses and animal science. In addition, eight 4-Hers from Chenango and Broome counties participated in western equestrian competitions at the state fair, with some taking home blue ribbons.
Butcher said she volunteers with youths because she received the same attention from adults when she grew up. “Everybody gave to me as I was growing up and it’s my turn to give back to the kids so they’ll have the opportunity to learn and grow,” she said.
Chenango County Dairy Princesses and ambassadors served refreshments following the awards ceremony.
