Loretta Stoerger became a 22-year leader of the Sadorus Handy Kids 4-H Club so her children and grandchildren would have an opportunity to be in 4-H. Her club members did many local community service projects. For many years, Loretta was the Superintendent for Visual Arts at the Champaign County 4-H Club-A-Rama (4-H General Shows) and Superintendent for the 4-H Champaign County Poultry Shows. She encouraged all 4-H exhibitors and praised their work regardless of the ribbon the 4-Her received.  She was an active member of the Champaign County 4-H council for several years. She believes in the 4-H program that allows members to select projects that interest the member and expand their knowledge of it, through 4-H meetings, learning about teamwork, leadership, public speaking, and parliamentary procedure, to increase members' confidence by exhibiting projects, learning by doing, and help others by doing community service projects.
