WAC (West Action Conference) is an upcoming district meeting to be held in October in Weatherford, Oklahoma. There will be to Burns Flat-Dill City members attending this fun and informative meeting. Our members will have the opportunity to participate in service learning projects and informative workshops to take our projects to the next level. The highlight of the conference is choosing a leadership team for the 21-22 school year. Our president, Kathryn Sirmon has submitted an application to run for a district office. She will be very busy meeting new people and campaigning for votes. Kathryn says the reason she chose to seek office is “I would like to be more involved in 4-H.” Good luck Kathryn.
