Pulaski County 4-H welcomes new 4-H All Star

Pulaski County 4-H welcomed Judie Willis as the newest Virginia and Pulaski County 4-H All Star on Wednesday, June 24, 2020. Judie has been part of the Virginia 4-H family for 50 years, from Hanover, to Henrico, to Pulaski, and bleeds 4-H green. 4-H All Stars is the highest recognition that a Virginia 4-H'er can achieve.

Judie strives to “Make the Best Better” for everyone in Pulaski County 4-H, being especially active with 4-H Teens In Action!, 4-H Shooting Club and 4-H Cloverbud Club, where she serves as a Club Leader. Judie is recognized by the Extension Office and 4-H community as 4-H Adult Leader Extraordinaire. She is also very supportive of our 4-H Livestock Club and any/all of our 4-H After-School Clubs if she can make it work with her schedule and her children’s schedules.

“I applaud Judie for these efforts and everyone knows that they can count on her,” says Chris Lichty, Pulaski County 4-H Extension Agent. “At 4-H Camp and around many a 4-H program, many a teen and 4-H’er have come to call her Momma Judie, from providing them with a band-aid, having a spare toothbrush or giving them a coloring book to help ease their minds. Thank you, Judie.”
