Gail could be deemed the Wikipedia of LaSalle County 4-H! Gail has been a very resourceful volunteer for more than 30 years. She is very passionate about sharing her knowledge and experiences with fellow volunteers and 4-H youth. More importantly, Gail has a great commitment to 4-H members and families. Many youths have experienced the leadership skills Gail provides, whether through workshops, club leadership, writing/revising manuals and record sheets, or through her work as a fair judge or superintendent. She helped by stepping in to assist after the loss of our 4-H advisor, and she also has helped by serving on countless committees over the years, such as 4-H Youth Development and the County Foundation Board. She recently formed the committee of The Friends of Extension and 4-H, to lead a fundraising campaign to ensure services and 4-H programming are sustained during this difficult time. Gail makes  herself available to assist! She is one of the BEST assets to LaSalle County 4-H and Extension!
