Mm-hmm.

And our mission is to promote academic achievement, holistic wellness, and personal empowerment, right? And so for us, it's the academics are part of it, but we are whole people, right? There is a, a physical side, so, um, on, on Instagram, we talk about eating well.

Uh, there's also an emotional side, um, so that we can be our best selves.

And then just feeling personally empowered, and that comes from having a sense of purpose, knowing what you wanna do with your life, and getting after those goals.

And so ultimately what we want, uh, is for people to, young people in particular, to live lives of purpose and to, uh, contribute to children and youth and schools and communities thriving.

You know, that's the kind of world that we wanna be part of, of making.

Mm-hmm.

You, um, have your words not match your actions.

Can you talk a little bit about that?

Sure.

Well, I maintained, throughout all this, I mean, I still stayed very much involved with 4-H.

So once I, when I was no longer county staff, then I actually went onto the state fair board, um, and I was on the state fair board for probably about 16 years, or maybe it was 14 years.

Anyway, it was quite a while.

And, um, so I still stayed very heavily involved with 4-H.

And, you know, one of our, our strong 4-H clothing and textiles, um, leaders, county leaders, um, was also the chair of the Ma- Washington Make It With Wool competition.

Um, and, and sort of related to that is I guess, um, did serging stay your first love? So you can answer those two questions in any order that you want.
