New Office Hours Starting Monday, September 23
Greetings!
We are currently in a transition process with staffing and wanted to let you know about an upcoming change to our office schedule and the reasons behind it.
One of our staff members will start working remotely soon, then will be on leave through the end of December as she welcomes a new baby into her family.
As we are still working to fill several vacancies in our office, this will leave us with just one part-time staff member to cover the office for approximately the next two months. We appreciate your patience as we do our best to continue to offer high quality customer service in a timely manner!
Our new temporary in-person office hours will start on Monday, September 23 and will be Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. Our goal is to increase our in-person hours again before Thanksgiving.
During this time our colleagues across the state are available to help you access programming, including agriculture, horticulture, 4-H, and nutrition. We will be happy to connect you with staff and faculty best suited to provide assistance.
If you happen to miss us, please do not hesitate to leave us a voicemail at 207-474-9622 or send us an email at extension.somerset@maine.edu. Remote staff will be checking messages regularly on weekdays until 4:30 p.m. and will get back to you as soon as possible!
CLOSED October 14
Our office will be closed on Monday, October 14 in recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
