Extension Office MovingFrom October 27-31, the Extension office will be closed with staff working remotely while we move to the new location. Please contact us via email during that week. Through the first few weeks in November, please call 920-906-4623 to make an appointment if you need something from the office. We will be unpacking and organizing the new space, so responses may be delayed. Our new office will be fully open and ready to welcome you on December 1. An Open House will also be held at the end of November so you can stop in and see the new space—watch for more details soon! We sincerely appreciate your patience during this transition.
Come Shop at the Office! As the Office is getting packed up to move, we have been doing a lot of cleaning! We have several items to donate, but we would like any clubs, projects, or individuals to review them first. This is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Items that are up for grabs include an incubator, various trinkets for prizes, an older button maker machine, some project supplies, and office supplies such as mailing envelopes, binders, and more! Please bring a box or bags with you.
Shopping times will be the following: - Monday, Oct 13, 1-4:30pm
- Tuesday, Oct 14, 9am-12:30pm
*Note: The Extension office will be closed Friday, October 17 for staff training
