SACRAMENTO – Yesterday, Assemblyman Frank Bigelow (R-O’Neals) received
unanimous support for HR 12, honoring California 4-H’s Centennial
Anniversary. Dedicated to preparing new leaders in both rural California
and throughout the state, Assemblymember Bigelow issued the following
statement upon passage of the resolution:
“For 100 years, the 4-H program has been providing important
leadership development services to California’s youth, allowing them to
pledge their heads to clearer thinking, their hearts to greater loyalty,
their hands to larger service and their health to better living.
Together with 4-H leadership, young people have worked to enhance the
impact of their clubs, their communities, their country and their
world.”
“Focused on addressing significant environmental, economic and
agricultural issues affecting California’s youth, families and
communities, the California 4-H program provides children of all
backgrounds the opportunity to develop important values such as
citizenship, leadership, responsibility and the importance of the
community they live in.”
“As a testament to the program’s success, there are more than 72,000
young people active in the program annually and more than one-million
alumni of the program throughout the state.”
Assemblyman Frank Bigelow, R-O’Neals, is a lifelong rancher who
represents the 5th Assembly District in the California Legislature,
which includes all or parts of Placer County, El Dorado County, Alpine
County, Amador County, Calaveras County, Tuolumne County, Mariposa
