42 year leader of the Prosperity Lucky's 4-H Club

Joe Stritzel of Williamson County. For 42 years, he led the Prosperity Lucky's 4-H Club with his wife Fern. For 10 years, he worked as a Illinois State Fair Boys' Dorm Supervisor. He was also a 4-H Camp volunteer at Monticello. Joe enjoyed working with the community youth, their three children, and several other family members through the 4-H program. He remains in contact with several past 4-Hers today. Joe is known as a "service man", never saying no to anyone when they need his assistance and we credit him for much of the behind the scenes work for the club.  Congratulations on this honor!
