The commitment, passion, and contributions that Sharon and Lloyd Roberts have left in Cass County have made an indelible mark on the lives of many young people and the community.
For over 30 years, they have been active 4-H parents, with all four of their sons participating in Cass County 4-H. Lloyd was a superintendent, rabbit assistant superintendent, and night guard at the county fair. Sharon volunteered in the 4-H exhibit building and assisted with check-in during judging.
They also have been generous donors for trophies and awards, establishing the Roberts Family 4-H Scholarship, open to Cass County 4-H members for over 15 years. They both volunteer for the Pleasant Noble 4-H Club and during the county fair. They are also donors to the Iowa 4-H Foundation and the Cass County Community Building and regularly attend the Cass County 4-H Foundation Pancake Supper and purchase silent auction items. Along with these volunteer opportunities, they became a host family for a 4-H youth from North Dakota.
Their service extends beyond the 4-H organization. They are the Atlantic Lions Club and Farm Bureau members, and both served on the Cass County Committee for the Iowa Sesquicentennial. Lloyd is a lifelong member of the American Legion in Griswold, having served in the Army in Korea. He is also a past member of the Griswold School Board. Sharon is a former Hospital Auxiliary Volunteer. The pair are also donors and volunteers for the Blue Ribbon Foundation at the Iowa State Fair for several years.
