A letter from the Piscataquis County Extension Association Executive Committee:
We Need Your Help
Please join us at the Piscataquis County Budget Hearing in the Superior Court Building in Dover-Foxcroft on Monday November 16th, 2009 at 7:00 pm (tentative date and time) to just show your support or even better speak of the difference that University of Maine Cooperative Extension Piscataquis County has made in your home, business, family and our community.
As you know University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s successful educational programs result from a federal, state and county partnership. Since 1919, when the Maine legislature passed the County Extension Act, the University of Maine has been in all Maine communities with a local county office that is funded by county government.
Piscataquis County is recommending a significant cut to our University of Maine Cooperative Extension Piscataquis county office and if approved could close the office - resulting in loss of jobs, terminating all UMaine Extension Piscataquis county programming and reallocation of remaining staff to other parts of the state.
So, please join me in showing our countywide support to these programs and staff! If you cannot attend please write or call your Piscataquis County commissioners. Every correspondence will help! Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Judy Merck
