Beech Room Dedication
On March 31st, with family and friends in attendance, we dedicated the Beech Room in honor of Kathy Baker Fitzgerald. Kathy was a former Farm, Home, & Youth Foundation board member and officer as well as a long-time 4-H leader who greatly contributed to the county 4-H program and mentored many youth. The next time you visit the Complex, be sure to stop by the Beech Room to see photos of Kathy as well as the dedication plaque. The room was renovated with donations made in Kathy's name.
