Head, heart, hands and health are the four Hs of 4-H, the cornerstone values of 4-H and the main elements of the 4-H pledge. These values also comprise the daily living of Amy Spar, one of Ada’s Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H club advisors.

Amy grew up in Xenia, Ohio, and has firsthand recollections of the historic and devastating tornado outbreak that affected her town in 1974. In 1986 Amy came to Ada for more affordable housing while working at Lima Memorial Hospital.
