Naedler, Dennis (Goes to Sweden - 1974)

Dennis Naedler, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Naedler, Jr., of Rt. 1 Granton will represent Clark County 4-H clubs in Sweden from June 17 to August 1. Dennis is a member of the Romadka 4-H Club of Granton.

On June 17, Dennis will travel to the National 4-H Center in Washington D.C., for two days of orientation before leaving for Sweden on a 4-H IFYE caravan. The caravan will consist of 12 4-H members from the United States between the ages of 17 and 19. They will live with host families during their stay in Sweden, in a province located north of Stockholm.

Dennis along with the other IFYE Caravaners will arrive in Sweden during the Swedish Midsummer fest, which is a National Swedish holiday.

While in Sweden, Dennis will learn ho 4-H club work is organized in Sweden and how this compares to 4-H club work in the United States. He stated that he would also like to learn about Swedish agriculture and Swedish culture. Dennis also will develop sister 4-H clubs in Sweden with 4-H clubs from Clark County.

Upon his return to the United States in August, Dennis will meet with local 4-H clubs and describe his travels in Sweden and prepare a newsletter which will be sent to all county 4-H programs in the state of Wisconsin.

Dennis trip is sponsored by the National 4-H Foundation in cooperation with Clark County 4-H clubs and several Clark County businesses.
