Horner said, “One of the members of the Needles and Thread Club said ‘Mrs. Conover is patient and kind. She helps me restitch my projects and she taught me sewing, she is a great teacher.’ – This is just one example of Marlene’s dedication to our 4-H Youth.” “Marlene is always there when you need a volunteer and truly cares about the Cape May County 4-H Youth Development Program,” added Horner.
