4-H Officers
Officers were elected at the recent annual meeting of the Windham County 4-H Foundation including, left to right: Eileen Fritz, secretary; Jane Rider, president; Marlies Thomen, vice president, and Sandra Ahola, treasurer. Newly appointed to the post of Associate Dean and Associate Director of Cooperative Extension Services in the college of agriculture at UConn, Dr. Michael O’Neill was introduced to the group. He shared his vision of making the UConn Extension service, not the largest in the country, but hopefully a model for other states to follow. Standing committee chairs were also elected. The Foundation is hoping to be starting a much-needed renovation to the lodge, built in 1954, in 2013. Looking ahead to updated kitchen, office, bathroom, and classroom spaces that are fully handicapped accessible. Courtesy photo.
