Data sheets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick explained to members about UMaine Civil Rights and non-discrimination policies.\u00a0 Members were offered the opportunity to fill out information sheets that the University will use to better understand their population of employees and volunteers and seek to support under-served populations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was noted that although the University does not discriminate against personal gender identification, there are only \u201cMale\u201d and \u201cFemale\u201d gender identification boxes to choose from on the data sheets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Minutes of May Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a motion by Anne R., seconded by Dave, the minutes were approved unanimously.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Financial Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick shared the Financial Report through Sept 30. \u00a0Rick explained that there is typically a $7k surplus from year to year, and that an increase in funds was requested for the supply line to match spending from the previous year. There were no issues of concern to discuss.\u00a0 On a motion by Theresa, seconded by Anne R., the financial report was approved as presented.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choose the day\/time for future meetings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meetings will be held on the THIRD Tuesday of each month (with flexibility as necessary) starting at 5:30p.\u00a0 November\u2019s meeting, however, will be on November 13. December\u2019s meeting will be on Dec 18, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summer activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rick<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick provided a wrap-up of some of his activities over the summer. See attachment.\u00a0 There was some discussion and interest in the Climate Masters curriculum development. Rick explained that it is in review. Further discussion ensued regarding the effect of climate change with regard to heat, temperature, water (or lack thereof) is having on producers and their products.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vi\u00f1a<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vina shared her Food Systems & Youth Development programming summer activities as well as Joyce\u2019s prepared 4-H Program Update. Of note, the UMaine Extension 4-H auction in Waldo County is being held on Saturday, October 20th<\/sup> at the Mt. View High School, starting at 1pm.\u00a0 Jodie is organizing the event and it is the largest fundraiser to support Waldo County 4-H scholarships and programs.<\/p>\n

Vina\u2019s report stimulated Katy to ask the status of the 4-H scholarship fund investment account.\u00a0 There remains about $7k in the investment account, and a $1500 scholarship was awarded for 2018.\u00a0 The $1500 is more than the dividends on the $7k investment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sub-Committee Reports<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ag Plastics
\n<\/strong>Dave reported that the Ag Plastics group met on June 20 at the Extension Office. There were several action items, and minutes of that meeting are forthcoming. David could use some help with this committee and will attack again in earnest at the end of the current growing season. Additionally, Aktan suggested a workshop focused on alternatives to using ag plastic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Farmer Potluck
\n<\/strong>Anne D. happily agreed to chair the event; Darcy and Theresa volunteered to help as well. The group agreed to shoot for Saturday, February 16, 2019 as the date for the next potluck.\u00a0 Ideas such as getting farmer musicians to play, having a contra dance, speed dating between buyers and producers, arranging for a featured speaker (topics anyone?), and signing volunteers up to become a 4-H mentors were addressed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rural Living Day
\n<\/strong>Saturday, April 6, 2019 is the next date for Rural Living Day to be held at Mt. View High School.\u00a0 Due to increased rental and food costs, the committee discussed potentially raising the registration fee from $20 to $30. Vina will chair the committee and will start the planning next month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4-H
\n<\/strong>Rick suggested including 4-H as an additional subcommittee. Katy volunteered to write another letter to the University in order to state the continued need for a full-time Extension 4-H Professional to work at Waldo County.\u00a0 Jodie also explained that additional funds are still necessary to support Waldo County 4-H events. 4-H mentors\/volunteers remain a widely unmet need.\u00a0 WCEA members are encouraged to spread the word about the need for volunteers through their own social media sites, as well as at their local town meetings.<\/p>\n

An opportunity to sign volunteers up can also occur at the upcoming Winter Farmer Potluck. Reminder and repeated note that the UMaine Extension 4-H auction in Waldo County is being held on Saturday, 20 October at the Mt. View High School, starting at 1pm.\u00a0 Jodie is organizing the event and it is the largest fundraiser to support Waldo County 4-H scholarships and programs.
