CROSBY – Victor and Debbie Holmelin started the newest version of Crosby 4-H long ago with a vigor for being inclusive and encouraging area youth to explore their world. Today, Crosby 4-H Club is the largest 4-H club in Harris County, as well as the largest in Texas, with 174 members.

An Annual Banquet celebrates accomplishments of each member and their project/projects and recognize members for their years in 4-H. Seven Clover kids were given pins first, a Clover kid is between 5 and 8 years old and just getting started in 4-H, then a host of others were given pins for each year they had been in 4-H, concluding with Dylan Harthorn, Maggie Hearn and Hunter Eilers receiving 10 year pins.

Following Officer installation, all the high school seniors were called forward and presented a gift by the club. The girls received a James Avery Charm, and the boys a Case pocket knife; both were inscribed with Crosby 4-H and 2019. The seniors were recognized for their Club and Community Service hours totaling over 360 hours. Crosby 4-H Club is Honored that the 2019 Crosby ISD Valedictorian and Salutatorian both are members of 4-H — Valedictorian, Mary Hope Greer, and Salutatorian, Maggie Hearn. Congratulations to both of them for this great accomplishment.

Each year all eligible seniors are awarded a Scholarship in memory of Victor Holmelin. Members must be active and complete service hours all 4 years of high school for both the club and the community. The Scholarship is self-funded by the members completing fundraising activities throughout the year. This year’s recipients will receive $1000 each to use this fall at a college or trade school of their choosing.
