As such members and leaders from Alexander, Poplar Hill and Roseland-South Brandon 4-H clubs met with 水果视频鈥檚 minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development to support his efforts at proclaiming November 4-H Month.
水果视频 4-H Council鈥檚 executive director Clayton Robins (who farms five miles southeast of Rivers) says the people in the picture, 鈥淲ere asked to attend as they are very active in having both leaders and members participate in 4-H activities, events and opportunities beyond their club level.鈥�
