Very Sad Day for Lane County 4-H

Lane County Oregon residents have voted ‘NO’ to keep 4-H and Extension Service in Lane County. Do the residents REALLY know how they use Extension, and who DEPENDS on 4-H and Extension? This is VERY SAD and VERY DEPRESSING. I picked this up on the National 4-H’s Facebook Page, someone had post it on there. This SHOULD NOT be happening. Thank goodness it is in only 1 county (for now). I know other STATES that have done away totally with 4-H! This was very close to me, because I have a friend who works for OSU Extension. EXTREMELY DEPRESSING and EXTREMELY SAD news releases here, here (article and video), here, here (article and video), here, here, here, and here.
THIS DOES NOT ADD UP!!! READ THIS!! MORE THAN 65,000 LANE COUNTY RESIDENTS USED EXTENSION LAST YEAR!! So, the BIG QUESTION is why did they not vote ‘Yes’? THE TAX PAYERS OF LANE COUNTY ARE RUINING THEIR YOUTH’S FUTURE!!!!!!! IT BREAKS MY HEART TO READ SOME OF THE RELEASES. PEOPLE CRYING, ESPECIALLY YOUTH CRYING!!!!! I CAN NOT TAKE IT!!!!! PLEASE leave a comment here to let me know what YOU think. Really, 4-H is here to help youth succeed in life.
**I know I’m from Iowa, but 4-H EVERYWHERE is VERY IMPORTANT to me. 4-H helps youth build life-long skills! 4-H also helps at-risk youth as well! 4-H is AMAZING!**
eXtension is here for EVERYONE! eXtension pools all the talents that you may need together in one place!
