Louisiana 4-H’ers learn leadership, citizenship and life

communities, too.

In every Louisiana parish, LSU AgCenter 4-H agents help 4-H youth and
adult volunteers develop their full potential. Some 175,000 4-H club members

to larger service
4-H has been preparing young people for leadership roles for more than 100
years and continues to build the future today. Critical to this effort is support from
the Louisiana 4-H Foundation.
and my Health
Founded in 1978 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Louisiana 4-H
Foundation, affiliated with the LSU Foundation, is a permanent endowment for
educational programs and scholarships. Through tax-deductible donations, the
Foundation is able to help 4-H continue developing youth and building a legacy
to better living,
of leaders for Louisiana.
for my club, my community,
my country and my world.
A Message from the Director
I began my work with the Louisiana 4-H Foundation in Nov. 2006. Never did I think I
would have this much enjoyment fundraising for 4-H in the state I love. I have enjoyed
traveling to all corners of Louisiana soliciting support for the largest youth development
organization in the United States.
I am also happy to be bringing you the first Louisiana 4-H Foundation Annual Report
since 2003. During the 2006-07 fiscal year, the 4-H Foundation continued its strong
support of the 4-H program with more than $100,000 for scholarships, educational trips,
programs and 4-H Camp.
With the backing of LSU AgCenter Chancellor Bill Richardson and Vice Chancellor,
Paul Coreil, the 4-H Foundation has a major focus of supporting the Grant Walker 4-H
Educational Center. As you may already know, the 4-H Foundation purchased approximately 30
acres of land adjacent to Grant Walker back in 2003. This land acquisition has injected new life
into 4-H Camp and its programming plans.
Thanks to your generosity over the past three years, the 4-H Foundation is more than 65 percent
on its way of completing the payment on this piece of property. Our plan is to donate this property
to the LSU AgCenter for 4-H Camp once the purchase is complete.
The Louisiana National Guard also has helped out with more than $100,000 worth of general
labor on the property. Personnel have removed all of the buildings that were deemed
uninhabitable and cleared all of the overgrown vegetation.
In the next few months, the Guard will embark on a major pond excavation project that ultimately
will enable environmental education and recreational activities. Chancellor Richardson also has
earmarked more than $800,000 for improvements.
Even with so many entities providing support, private sector funding continues to play the most
important role in Louisiana’s 4-H program at both the state and local level.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions. I look forward to the many
relationships that will develop in support of the Louisiana 4-H Foundation.

Roy O. Martin Donates Land for Camp
In May 2007, the Roy O. Martin Lumber Company of Alexandria donated 1.7
acres to the Louisiana 4-H Foundation and the LSU AgCenter.
Located adjacent to the Grant Walker 4-H Educational Center in Pollock, the
property allows the current 4-H property to connect to the former Windywood
property that is currently being developed for future 4-H camp use.
This donation creates one contiguous campground and provides for immediate
access to Big Creek, which is used for canoeing and environmental education
programs.

Bivin Donations Establish Endowment
During her years of service to the LSU AgCenter and 4-H Youth Development, Dr.
Rosalie Bivin generously contributed $16,700 to the Louisiana 4-H Foundation
through monthly employee payroll deductions. Her gift is one of the most
generous given by an AgCenter employee through the payroll giving
program.
These contributions have been used to create the Rosalie Bivin 4-H
Youth Development Faculty Award, a new endowed fund in the 4-H
Foundation.
The interest from this account will be used each year to award
and recognize a 4-H youth development faculty member for a
distinguished, innovative and visionary contributions to positive
youth development.
In celebration of her retirement from the AgCenter, Bivin’s family and
friends also presented a check for more than $3,000 to be included
Dr. Rosalie Bivin
in the fund in her name. These funds were collected to honor her
years of service to 4-H youth development, to family and consumer sciences, to
the School of Human Ecology and to the AgCenter.
Because of what she has meant to the agents doing family and consumer
sciences programming, the Louisiana Extension Association of Family and
Consumer Sciences (LEAFCS) donated $200 from the organization in addition to
individual contributions.
Dr. Terril Faul
