The
Linn County KLA Committee earned recruiter of the month honors for July by
signing up four new members. These new members joined when the Linn County
Committee partnered with the Miami County KLA Committee to host a cattle health
and handling workshop at La Cygne in mid-July. Linn County will receive a $50
Cabela’s gift card for this achievement.
Last year, the Linn County Committee signed up 26 new members in the KLA Top Hand Contest, exclusively sponsored by John Deere. They earned several prizes, including a 30-30 rifle the committee sold at auction to start a county scholarship fund. Two local students received $500 scholarships as a result.
This
is an example of how KLA members work together to benefit both the state
organization, by increasing membership, and local communities, by supporting
youth.
