Julie Bielema is being nominated for the Illinois 4-H Hall of fame for many reasons. To describe why Julie deserves this great honor is very hard in so little words. Julie has been involved with 4-H basically her whole life, from being a member in her youth, to dedicating her adult years to the program she grew up with. Julie attends monthly club meetings, and works with her youth to plan fun meetings and events. Julie works hard to come up with new ideas and opportunities for her 4-H members. She is a very hard working and dedicated volunteer as she is on many different committees such as horse, dogs, and even rabbits. Many say she is a very approachable leader and volunteer, that respects everyone around her. Julie is a very busy person but she finds the time in her busy schedule to give her members the best experiences in 4-H that she can. Thank you Julie for all you do, we appreciate you!
