Thank You Wayne Township Landfill

Thank you to the Wayne Township Landfill. Each year they host a Golf Tournament where the proceeds are given to an organization or cause. This year the Clinton County 4-H Endowment was chosen as one of the two beneficiaries. As a result, $3,550 was raised to be put in the 4-H Endowment Fund! That you to the landfill and all those who participated.

Clinton County 4-H Officer Training is less than 2 weeks away! Don't forget to register through E-data. This is for any 4-H member who would like to attend. Please register ASAP! This is mandatory due to the fact that we are serving lunch.
