TSGS Awards Another 4-H Member

'

November gave me an opportunity to recognize two 4-H members from two counties in Southwestern Indiana. November 1st. I was in Posey County presenting a TSGS Glenda K. Trapp Memorial Award Certificate to Morgan Zoch as was posted recently. November 18th., Becky & I attended the Vanderburgh 4-H Awards Banquet to present a certificate to John Mentzel.

The award is based on the 4-H Achievement Record of the 4-H member in the project of Genealogy, as evaluated by the county awards committee of the 4-H Council, Inc. In Vanderburgh County, the award has been awarded each year for over 25 years. I have been fortunate to serve as the TSGS 4-H Coordinator and have the honor of presenting the award on behalf of our society.

I was unable to get a photograph this year of John. Congratulations to John and his family for his achievement in one of today's most difficult 4-H projects (but one of the most rewarding!).

TSGS makes 4-H Award presentation...

TSGS 4-H Coordinator John G. West & Becky West attended the Posey County, Indiana 4-H Awards Dinner on Nov. 1st. to present the TSGS Glenda K. Trapp Memorial Award Certificate to Morgan Zoch for her achievement and activities in the 4-H Genealogy Project.

The Tri-State Genealogical Society is pleased to recognize 4-H youth and encourage them to research their family histories. The 4-H project demands a lot from the 4-H'er to learn the proper way to document their history and to maintain copies of the documents and photographs. The society congratulates Morgan on her involvement in genealogy!

4-H Genealogy Project Awards...

The Glenda K. Trapp Memorial Award Certificate was awarded to two 4-H'ers this week by TSGS President John G. West & Board Director Becky West. This award was created over 25 years ago by TSGS to recognize the achievements in the 4-H Genealogy Project for the area county 4-H programs. Becky & I are dressed in Revolutionary War/Colonial period dress, since I also presented an Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Outstanding Citizenship Award in each county. I serve as the Indiana Society SAR 4-H Award Program State Chair.

Congratulations to these two young family tree historians!
