4-H members from St. Lawrence County to attend ‘Capitol Days’ in Albany

Posted

A delegation of nearly 130, representing thousands of 4-H members in New York State, including those from St. Lawrence County clubs, will expand their knowledge of state government when they travel to Albany March 3 to 6 for the 77th annual 4-H Capitol Days.

Representing St. Lawrence County will be McKenzie Deno of Canton and Carmen Kenney of Massena. Charlene Deno will accompany the delegates.

4-H members, volunteer leaders, and staff will meet with leaders in state government, members of the court system and officials from a variety of state agencies. They also plan to observe a working session of the state legislature and talk with their representatives.

The participants will learn about speaking to their legislators, the reporting of politics, and career opportunities in government as they tour state agencies, participate in discussion sessions, and visit with their legislators. They will also have an opportunity to tour the Capitol and visit the Corning Tower and State Museum.

For more information regarding 4-H, call Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County at 379-9192.
