Lawrence Hruska was a leader of the Utica Lucky 4’s 4-H Club from 1963-1982 (20 years) and a Project Leader from 1983-1984. He started the softball games at the Saude Park. He implemented discs for bases that are still there for the Utica Lucky 4-H Club as well as others to use at the park for their games. They will be a permanent fixture. Bud is an avid arrowhead collector and always shared his collection and experiences with youth in 4-H and at schools.
Naomi was a Project Leader from 1970 to 1974. She was on the Youth Committee from 1973-1979. Naomi was also a local achievement judge for the Far Out 4’s 4-H Club. Every Valentine’s Day, Naomi would send a donation for their treasury.
In 1976, Bud & Naomi received the 4-H Outstanding Family Award. In 1979, Bud received the 4-H Honorary Award. In 1980, Naomi received the 4-H Honorary Award. Both Bud and Naomi are great supporters of the 4-H Program.
The Utica Lucky 4’s 4-H Club are so thrilled that Bud & Naomi are receiving this award that they are planning an alumni reunion in July to tell them then that they are going to receive the Hall of Fame Award.
