The 4-H Council

By Karen Lowry Extension Agent, Youth

There seems to be confusion among some people about the structure of the 4-H Council and the individuals who are to serve on it. I hope to alleviate the confusion by providing the following information. The Kosciusko County 4-H Council is the organization that serves as a directory group for the guidance of affairs of the Kosciusko County 4-H program. The 4-H Council establishes policy for the 4-H program and controls the allocation of money for many 4-H activities.

American Legion explained to Kiwanis Club members

John Mansfield, Commander of the Syracuse American Legion Post, presented a program to the Wawasee Kiwanis club Saturday morning in Gropp’s at Syracuse. He explained that the Legion is a veterans organization consisting of veterans from World War I, World War 11, the Korean War, and Vietnam. To be considered a veteran eligible to join the American Legion, you must have been on active duty for at least one day and have had an honorable discharge. The American Legion is the world’s largest veterans organization consisting of more than million members in over 16,000 posts throughout the United States and overseas. It was founded in France by 1,000 members of the expeditionary force on March, 16, 1919. It was chartered by Congress on September 16, 1919. The governing body consists of 58 representatives...one from each state, one from Washington, D.C. and seven from foreign countries. The national headquarters is in Indianapolis. Programs of the American Legion are rehabilitation, child welfare, national security, and Americanism. The organization has been very influential in federal and state veteran legislation proposals. The Legion was responsible for the formation of Don't just stand All things come to him who waits — but “him” better be working while he’s waiting. — North England Record.

cil consists of one person representing each organized club, each organized project or activity committee, the 4-H Leaders Association and the 4-H Junior Leaders. Although anyone is welcome to attend 4-H Council meetings to express their concerns, file representatives of the county 4-H clubs and committees, 4-H Council members, are the only individuals who have voting privileges. Volunteer 4-H Leaders are being asked to inform the extension office of the name, address and phone number of their 4-H Council representative. This assistance will allow the extension office to update their 4-H Council member list so that all 4-H Council members can be kept well informed of council activities.

the Veterans Administration, which now has more than 150 VA hospitals. In 1944, the American Legion sponsored the G-2 Bill of Rights enabling more than 11 million veterans to further their education, learn a trade, or buy a home. The Legion is a leader in child welfare programs, assisting more than 200,000 each year with food, clothing, and medical expenses. They sponsor more than 1,500 junior baseball teams, more than 500,000 Boy Scout troops and other activities.
