Ford County Extension Appreciation Award
The Extension Council Appreciation Award is presented to an individual, couple or organization who has given a considerable amount of extra effort in support of the Extension Council education programs. In many cases their hard work and dedication has lightened the load for the Extension Service personnel, in addition to making the Extension Councils efforts more effective. The success of Extension programs depends on the unselfish energy of such people who have spent considerable time supporting our endeavors for no monetary rewards. Their service and support are greatly appreciated.
