    April 22-26, 2024 is National Volunteer Week.  This year we thought we would celebrate a little differently.  On Wednesday Robeson County 4-H hosted a Garden Party Luncheon for our 4-H Volunteers.  We wanted to celebrate our adult audience with their years of service and have the chance to give our most prestigious honor, the Robeson County 4-H Volunteer of the year award.     We had about 20 volunteers enjoy the catered luncheon.  We started the program around 12:15 and completed our awards by 12:45.  To see the awards by year click this link.  We were pleased to award our 5, 15, and 40 year recipients with mementos marking their time with 4-H.       Dr, Eddie Locklear was on hand to announce the newest inductee into the Robeson County 4-H Hall of Fame and recipient of the Dr. Eddie and Mrs. Brenda Locklear Endowment.  This year our winner is Joyce Jones.  Mrs. Jones has worked with our 4-H program for ...
