Re-opening and Re-starting
Thank you for your patience these past months. We are happily back working in our offices again adhering to University of Maine and CDC guidelines. Attached are 2 letters from our Dean, Dr. Hannah Carter. One addressing our members, families and volunteers and a second addressing our volunteers and how to get club life restarted. Please take a few moments to read through this important information.
Dear 4-H friends,
I am glad to share that we have received permission to begin club meetings again! We do have very specific protocols to work through and I am happy to walk you through each part of the process. You will see many links, checklists, and videos in this newsletter that explain how a 4-H club can meet this fall. Again, send me a quick email or message and I will assist you! Thank you for your continued patience and understanding in this unusual season.

How to Wash Your Hands Using Soap and Water
Meduxnekeag River Walk
Are you looking for an outdoor adventure? Take a trip to Houlton, 49 North St., and walk the Meduxnekeag River Walk. It is an easy three-mile loop and our 4-H staff team has created some science stations along the way. This would be a fabulous trip for the whole family – you could pack a little picnic to eat at one of the river view stops!
Virtual Exhibit Hall
Missing the Northern Maine Fair and the Exhibit Hall? Our state 4-H team created five virtual exhibit halls with entries from 4-Hers all across Maine. Two of our Aroostook county youth have exhibits in the 3D gallery!
Check out our Facebook page, UMaine 4-H Aroostook County, for fun and educational activities, recipes and more.
