The Linden Lead'em 4-H Club was founded in April of 1928 by Clarence and Mabel Ropp. Clarence Ropp led the club for 40 years. His son Ray has led the club for the last 40 years. An 80th birthday celebration will be held this summer on Sunday, July 13, 2008 at the Grace Church Activity Center at 1311 W. Hovey in Normal.
There will be a potluck lunch at 12:30 pm followed by reminiscing about those "good old days" by former members and present members, displays of past accomplishments and scrapbooks. All present and former Linden Lead'em members and their families are invited to attend as well as any 4-H leaders or members who would like to extend best wishes to the club.
If anyone knows of former members, please inform them of this celebration as correct addresses are not known for everyone.
