This weekend was a busy one, but I always try to make time to support the organizations and events that invest in our youth. ❤️

I was happy to attend the 29th Annual 4-H Foundation Pig Roast and spend some time celebrating the incredible work being done to support our 4-H youth and our community.

4-H teaches our young people so much about responsibility, leadership, hard work and giving back. I’m always proud to support our youth and the many volunteers who help make these opportunities possible.

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this year’s event a success!

Did you know? The Dolly Parton Imagination Library provides high-quality, age-appropriate books to children aged 0-5 at no cost to the family. The program looks a little different in each state.

In Ohio, while the national Dolly Parton-sponsored program provides the structure, overhead, and publishing, the books are paid for through a partnership between the state of Ohio and Local Program Partners. The Ashtabula County Community Action Agency is the Local Program Partner for Ashtabula County and provides half the cost of each book that is mailed to program participants in the county thanks to grants, sponsorships, and donations.

Honor Dolly’s legacy by sponsoring an Imagination Library child in Ashtabula County by visiting: https://www.ohioimaginationlibrary.org/donate

When donating, be sure to direct your donation to Ashtabula County to ensure that your donation will directly benefit the children enrolled in our local program. Thank you for helping us continue Dolly's legacy one book and one child at a time.

I had the honor of attending the groundbreaking for Iten Defense, and I couldn't be more excited to be part of this important milestone for our community.

Iten Defense provides critical services that help support the safety and security of our nation while creating valuable opportunities for economic growth and high-quality jobs right here in Ashtabula County. Investments like this strengthen our local economy, foster innovation, and demonstrate confidence in the future of our community.

Thank you to everyone who made this project possible. I look forward to watching Iten Defense grow and seeing the positive impact it will have on Ashtabula County for years to come!
