Abbey Miller<abmiller@msu.edu>, Communications Manager, Michigan 4-H Foundation - October 30, 2018

Each year, 4-H training workshops are offered, most of them at Kettunen Center, Michigan’s 4-H training center in Tustin, Michigan.

People gathered at the steps in Kettunen Center. — MSU Extension 4-H retirees and former 4-H workers gathered at Kettunen Center May 10-11 for a biannual reunion. Attendees were able to catch up with friends and colleagues, learn new skills and received updates on MSU Extension, Michigan 4-H and the Michigan 4-H Foundation. The reunion planning committee members were Cyndi Mark, chair, Renee Applegate, Nancy Beukema, Larry Johnson, Betsy Knox, Sara Kleon and Dee Williams. A silent auction provided a donation of over $1,100 to support the Kettunen Center Endowment Fund.
