10 year member of the Linder Go-Getters 4-H Club; 19 year leader of the Linder Go-Getters 4-H Club
Shirley Thornton of Green County is our next nominee to be inducted into the 2009 Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame. Shirley Thornton has been a 4-H member, leader, and supporter for over 20 years! She began as a 10 year member of the Linder Go-Getters 4-H Club which she eventually became a 19 year leader for. In this Green County resident's household 4-H is a family affair. Like Shirley, her husband and her sons have also been actively involved.
