Kelly Laughery was a member of the Adair County 4-H Youth Council from 2000-2001 to 2003-2004. In her short life she reached out and served the Adair County community in many ways from spearheading a cemetery restoration project to working at literally hundreds of day camps. While a senior at Nodaway Valley High School, Kelly was the co-organizer of the high school wide service day. Kelly's spirit of giving is something we will always remember about her.
The Adair County 4-H Community Service Scholarship has been renamed to the Kelly Laughery Memorial 4-H Community Service Scholarship in Kelly's honor. The community service scholarships are sponsored by the Adair County 4-H Youth Council and Adair County Youth Action Committee to active Adair County 4-H'ers graduating from high school this spring. The scholarships seek to recognize 4-H'ers who have contributed to their communities as part of their 4-H experience. Click here for scholarship requirements and application form
