Local University of Missouri Extension 4-H supporter Dale Whiteside, of Chillicothe, was inducted into the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame at the MO-AG Theatre at the 2008 Missouri State Fair.
Whiteside was welcomed into the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame during the induction ceremony held Aug 10. He was one of the 31 individuals, eight couples and one business from around the state recognized for their service and dedication to the youth of University of Missouri Extension 4-H.
“We are delighted to recognize outstanding members of our Missouri 4-H family by inducting them into the Hall of Fame,” said Cheryl Reams, executive director of the Missouri 4-H Foundation.
Whiteside is a Missouri 4-H alumni and lifelong supporter of 4-H, especially in Livingston County. With his vision, determination and hard work, the Livingston County 4-H Foundation was established in 1997 which was the first county 4-H foundation in the state of Missouri. Through his leadership and untiring service, he has helped secure donations to build a strong financial base for the Livingston County 4-H Foundation all the while promoting the 4-H program.
“Our mission is to provide the youth of our community an opportunity to participate in 4-H,” Whiteside said. “We [4-H Foundation] have a good board of trustees.”
He also stated that those seven trustees have played an integral part in success of the Livingston County 4-H Foundation.

4-H Foundation Nearing $500,000
Goal
By CATHERINE STORTZ RIPLEY/C-T News Editor,
Thursday, August 31, 2006
Nine years ago the Livingston County 4-H Foundation was established - a first in the state of Missouri.
Weak in funds but strong in desire, organizers sought to raise enough money to fully endow a youth specialist to work full-time and exclusively for the local 4-H program. The goal was set at half-a-million dollars.
The foundation is coming close to that goal with a current balance of $340,000; however, the principal is not growing as fast as foundation members would like because it is responsible for funding its current staff which includes a part-time youth program assistant and a summer intern.
“We continue to get closer to our goal, but at a slower pace,” said foundation chairman Dale Whiteside.
Pat Wood is the youth program assistant, maintaining the program and working with volunteers and leaders. She splits her time with the Linn County 4-H program.
Livingston County's 4-H program has had a strong past and, although without a full-time youth specialist, continues to be active; however, supporters envision an even stronger program with a full-time youth specialist devoted completely to the local 4-H program.
“A full-time person who is really good at working with youth and volunteers and working in the community makes all the difference in the world,” Whiteside said. “We could get more kids involved with 4-H if we can get the endowment and hire a full-time youth specialist. We would always have one person here.”
Livingston County 4-H Foundation members are Diane Kerns, secretary; Kay Green, treasurer; Mike Sensenich, member; Jack McCall, member; Dale Whiteside, chairman; Dave Walker, vice
chairman; Brenda Kerr, member; Susie Beck, member; Rebecca Kerr, student 4-H representative.
