Stevens County
In 1962, Louise Savitz was instrumental in forming the “Singing Spurs” 4-H club, which is still active in Stevens County. She served as a leader for 40 years, both as Chairman and Project Leader. While she supported county level activities throughout her 4-H leadership career, her primary focus was at the club level. She has been a leader, parent and grandparent to over 250 members and has inspired each one to be the best they could be.
Louise’s role in 4-H work encompasses driving carloads of kids to 4-H activities; designing and sewing 4 H uniforms and flags (still in use today); riding on trail rides and in parades; teaching and coaching judging sessions, public presentations, showmanship and various projects; serving as a judge, to name just a few. Members knew they could call on her for help—whether it was for an idea for a demonstration, or rounding up a piece of clothing or equipment they didn’t have or couldn’t afford.
In 1990 Louise retired fro 43 years of elementary school teaching. She taught the “whole” child before it became a buzzword—and from this experience, knew that 4-H was one way to reach children who were sometimes unreachable in the standard school setting. In 1999 she was honored at the Western Regional 4-H Forum as a leader of over 30 years of volunteer service, and that same year was the keynote speaker for the County Leaders’ Banquet. In 2000, she and her husband, Harvey, were honored as Chewelah’s Honored Citizens for their many contributions to the community. Louise always believed in giving her service, her wisdom, and her positive attitude to others when she could.
