Lois Garbe has been a project leader for the Touchet 4-H Club for 23 years, and served as a resource leader for our county program for 11 years. She served as County Leaders’ Council secretary for six years, and is currently serving her sixth year as a leader-at-large on the Council Executive Board.
At the club level, Lois was a sheep and sewing leader. She organized hayrides, Christmas caroling, potlucks, square dances, trips to 4-H sheep shows throughout the state, and chaperoned members to State 4-H Fair and summer 4-H camp.
Lois regularly volunteers for county 4-H activities, including the 4-H fair booth, parade displays, presentation contests, Super Saturday, and the achievement program. She has organized judging contests, fitting and showing clinics, and helped with the 4-H market sale. She has judged record books and served on our 4-H scholarship committee. Her most significant impact on 4-H is the effect of the fund raising program and endowment fund she helped set up for our 4-H Leaders’ Council. Through her efforts, our council linked up with the Albertsons Community Partners Program and has received quarterly funds for a number of years.
In addition to her 4-H involvement, Lois served on the Extension Advisory Board, was sheep superintendent for many years, assists with the educational program at the fair, and served as secretary for the Blue Mountain Sheep Producers for about 20 years.
