Somerset County 4-H issued the following announcement.
Barbara Navatto, retired 4-H program associate and former Somerset County 4-H Fair manager, was honored by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) with a Community Service Award.
Barbara has touched the lives of thousands of young people and enriched the lives of many adult 4-H volunteers, said Holly Jean Dunbar, New Jersey DAR liaison to 4-H. “She has a special skill of being able to bring people of all different backgrounds together to focus on common goals in support of our area’s youth.”
The award was presented by Elizabeth Snyder-Continental Chapter DAR at their 125th anniversary celebration on June 11 at the Dunellen Hotel.
The DAR is a nonprofit service organization of women, 18 and older, who can trace their descent from a man or woman who aided the cause of independence during the American Revolution.
Based in Green Brook, Elizabeth Snyder-Continental Chapter serves areas in Somerset, Middlesex and Union counties. They also host the Pis-Cat-A-Qua Society of the Children of the American Revolution, open to young people from birth to age 22. New members to both organizations are welcome.
