It taught me responsibility, leadership, preservation of country life, and service to community. The 4-H motto, Learn To Do By Doing, has become my own, helping me find a path to success and an even deeper sense of worldly purpose.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[twitter id=&#8221;1222335354893549569&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canadian country music artist Gord Bamford will receive 4-H Canada\u2019s Distinguished Alumni Award at the annual 4-H Canada Leadership Awards.
