PULLMAN, Wash. -- Pat Dixon Hawkins, a long-time Clark County 4-H volunteer, has been inducted posthumously into the Washington state 4-H Hall of Fame.
Hawkins, who made her home in Battleground, was a 4-H leader in Clark County for 27 years. She started the Charter Oaks Community Club, which included many project areas.

She served as the garden and cat superintendent and of various home economic activities, including Fashion Review at the Clark County Fair. She was named Outstanding 4-H Leader of the Year for Clark County in 1987.
Hawkins was a member of the Advisory Board of North Clark County Social Services and was an instrumental part in organizing that social services group.
