The First National Bank of Altus, by recommendation of Bank President Philip McMahan, will sponsor the banquet by paying the meal expense for members, special guests, the facility rent and custodian fees. Philip McMahan met recently with the county council president Debra Kime to work on the banquet arrangements.
About 150-180 people are expected to attend the program which will highlight the 2009-10 4-H year in Jackson County. The 4-H members, leaders and supporters will be recognized for their achievements and contributions in the 4-H program. Council President Debra Kime of Altus 4-H will serve as master of ceremonies.
The theme of the banquet will be “4H Made.” The 4-H clovers will decorate the WOSC Student Center.
The top outstanding members from each club will be recognized. All members who completed a participation form will receive award according to their strong project areas. The naming of the county Hall of Fame awards sponsored by the National Bank of Commerce will climax the program.
Olustee 4H Club and their Leader Rhonda Moreau are serving as the banquet committee chairs. They request all local groups be represented at set-up on Friday, Aug. 20, at 5 p.m. in the WOSC Student Center.
Those attending the banquet need to turn in their registration by 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 13 at the OSU Extension Office with payment due by noon on Monday, Aug. 16.
