🌟Seeking New Committee Chairs for the Silent Auction🌟
💚After many years of dedication, Katey Martinka will be stepping down from leading the Silent Auction. We are so grateful for the countless hours and energy she has poured into making this fundraiser such a success! This will also be Mindy Riesen’s last year as co-coordinator. With that being said, the Leaders Association is excited to welcome new volunteers to step in and help shape the future of this event. If you’d like to be part of the 2026 Silent Auction Committee, please contact Ann Morrow at washcnty4hfundraisingcommittee@gmail.com. You would be working alongside the Washington County 4-H Leaders Association Fundraising Liaison and members—bringing fresh ideas and teamwork to keep this tradition thriving. 🌟
