“I could talk about the team that represented Michigan in dairy Quiz Bowl; about the 4-H members who are physicians, farmers and veterinarians now. I could talk about the champions every year, but it’s watching the learning and the growing in confidence and self-worth that is the most important reward possible to gain.”

Geraldine Eadie has been a Muskegon county 4-H volunteer of the Ravenna Livestock 4-H Club for 35 years and received the second annual Michigan Farm Bureau 4-H Excellence in Agriculture Award. Under her leadership, the Ravenna Livestock 4-H Club annually assembles fruit baskets t deliver to nursing homes. Geraldine also leads the Muskegon County Farm Bureau’s six-week after-school agricultural education program which delivers interactive, hands-on lessons about agricultural food products, plants, soils, trees and livestock.

Through 4-H I have learned so many things that can help me build my confidence. I went from feeling insecure about my disability to being able to tell other kids who have dyslexia that even if it is difficult, you shouldn\'t feel embarrassed about it. Since joining 4-H I can share my experience with dyslexia and help people understand the disability.
