The 9th annual Carlie Bell Memorial Scholarship recipient is Sam Gridley.
Carlie Bell was an exceptional 4-Her. She was extremely active in Drumheller District 4-H and the Morrin Multi 4-H Club. In 2011, Carlie died of viral encephalitis after a work exchange/travel adventure in New Zealand and Australia.
Carlie had great leadership skills and promoted 4-H involvement. The Carlie Bell Memorial Scholarship promotes working for the benefit of the group at the Club and District Levels.
Sam Gridley has 7 years of 4-H experience with the Morrin Multi 4-H Club. By following the example of fellow 4-H members and leaders, Sam has learned how to engage in his community and be a leader for his peers. Younger members look up to him as he always makes them feel part of the club. He encourages everyone to participate in the Club, District and Regional events.
His confidence, enthusiasm and maturity has made him a great representative for the 4-H program. Sam is in the first of 2 years as an Ambassador for 4-H Alberta.
