December Club Highlights: Thrall 4-H Club
Starting this month and going into the new
year of 2016, Texas A&M AgriLIfe
Extension Service Office will be recognizing
one 4-H Club a month highlighting their
good deeds and accomplishments.
For the month of December Thrall 4-H
Club was selected. Congratulations to all
participants and award winners that
participated in the Williamson County
Youth Exposition.
Thrall’s mayor, Troy Marx, gave a
presentation to the 4-H members about
what it takes to run a municipality. He
talked briefly about the history of Thrall
and then talked about regulations,
requirements, tax revenues, volunteer
opportunities and much more. The kids
were very engaged and had great
questions.
