🍀 Henrico 4-Hers past and present 🍀
the Henrico 4-H leaders association will be donating a large check to the Jamestown 4-H camp on Thursday Oct 9 at 2:30 in memory of Lloyd Hicks, a former Henrico extension agent ( for a long time)and director of Jamestown camp.
This was money he, Charlie Curry, 4-Hers and extension raised a long time ago. Part of this raised money went towards Henrico 4-H college scholarships which many Henrico 4-Hers have earned. The leaders association decided this was a good use of the rest of the money since Jamestown sustained a lot of storm damage this year
🍀 Past and present Henrico 4-Hers or volunteers who wish to join us to honor Lloyd please feel free to come 2:30 at Jamestown 4-H center, 3751 4-H club road, Williamsburg 23185 🍀
