Members represented Ohio 4-H at four regional, national and international events including the Southern Regional Conference, National Service Learning Conference, National 4-H Conference and the Global 4-H Network Summit.

Over this past year TLC raised $1,100 through the Texas Roadhouse gift card fundraiser and $1,200 with the Ohio 4-H Conference t-shirt sale. Funds were used for travel and service projects.

Those projects included and overnight where members contributed to five organizations by making 25 no-sew blankets, sensory eggs for children with autism, dog beds for Pilot Dogs, blessing bags bracelets for the Ohio 4-H LGBTQ+ Summit.
