4-H Foundation of NH

Ken Nelson, Senior Loan Officer from the White River Junction office, recently represented Yankee at the 4-H Foundation of New Hampshire 50th Annual Meeting. The meeting was held at Canterbury Woods Country Club in Canterbury, NH. The evening was a celebration of the past 50 years and looking forward to the future.

The 4-H Foundation helps support the various 4-H programs in New Hampshire which involve over 25,000 youth and 2,500 adult volunteers in all aspects of 4-H. In the most recent year, the Foundation provided financial support of over $150,000 to help fund these programs.

One of the many fund raisers that the Foundation has each year is the Tom Fairchild 4-H Golf Tournament which is scheduled for May 15, 2009 at Canterbury Woods. (See this post for our participation last spring.) For more information please contact Wendy Brock, 4-H Youth Development Program Leader and Executive Director at 603-862-2187. Yankee Farm Credit supports the 4-H Foundation of New Hampshire as an "Achiever" donor.
