ROCKWOOD, ON – 4-H Ontario is proud to honour the contributions of longtime volunteers at this year’s Volunteer Recognition Luncheon, sponsored by Monsanto
The Monsanto Volunteer Recognition Program celebrates 4-H Ontario volunteers’ years of service. Each 4-H Ontario volunteer receives a certificate of appreciation and pin for their first year of volunteering. Further recognition is given at five-year increments. Special congratulations start at 20 years of service, and for every five-year increment thereafter.

Among the many being recognized this year were: 40-year volunteers James Johnston (Peel), Marg Nauta (Chatham-Kent), 45-year volunteer Bonnie Popov (Essex) and
