Presented By Accurate Heating, Cooling & Plumbing

(Ross County 4-H/OSU Extension)- Clever Clovers advisor Betsy Moore has been selected for induction to the Ohio 4-H Hall of Fame. This award reflects a lifetime of commitment to bringing head, heart, hands, and health of 4-H to life at the club, county, and state levels.

Betsy started a club for her daughters over three decades ago because she wanted to raise the bar of their club experience. Since then, she’s poured her heart into making the best hands-on learning experience possible for all the kids she’s had in her club.

Moore has also served on the Ross County 4-H Advisory Committee, assists with several project specific key volunteer roles including 4-H Home Economics Team, Bake Review, Safe Sitter, Skillathon, and Quality Assurance. Most notably, Betsy was the driving force in launching the Ross County 4-H Endowment, now totaling almost $250,000 and producing over $10,000 in interest a year. These funds have been the direct result of her consistent creative thinking, heavy lifting, and advocacy. She’s building a legacy of funds for award trips, volunteer training, and 4-H innovative programming for years to come. Betsy, and the group of diehard 4-H supporters she leads are instrumental in building these funds and educating the community about the Endowment’s goals and ease of use for donations.

Betsy served on the Ohio State University Extension Advisory Committee for six years and the Ohio 4-H Foundation Board for eight years, including chairing the Foundation Board’s County Endowment committee for six years. She also served on the Ohio 4-H Centennial Planning Committee.

“If a financial need presents itself, she personally steps up and then promotes others to consider donating too, including supporting Tar Hollow 4-H Camp, youth at our Jr. Fair Sales, the Ohio 4-H Celebration of Youth, and statewide opportunities.”
