4-H youth development to benefit from

“Stories from the Mohawk Valley” donation in February

Bob Cudmore’s February “seed money” donation is a $100 gift to the 4-H youth development program in Fulton and Montgomery Counties.

The donation comes from sales of Cudmore’s history book, “Stories from the Mohawk Valley.”   In all, $2,200 has gone to area charities from sales of the book since its publication in 2011.

The 4-H youth program is being publicized on Cudmore’s morning radio show on Amsterdam’s Lite 104.7 FM / 1570 AM WVTL, plus audio streaming on www.wvtlfm.com 

About 18 to 20 4-H clubs involve young people in educational projects in Fulton and Montgomery Counties.  4-H is coordinated by Cornell Cooperative Extension and depends on the participation of volunteer adult leaders.  4-H is also raising funds this month with a sale of products from local vendors. http://www.ccefm.com/readarticle.asp?ID=1477&progID=1

Donations may be sent to: Cornell Cooperative Extension, 50 East Main St., Canajoharie, N.Y. 13317.  Make the check out to Cornell Cooperative Extension and write 4-H Youth Development on the memo line.
