Communication Techniques

However, the Extension team is available for safe face to face appointments if needed. Please wear a mask, follow 6 foot social distancing, wash hands frequently, use hand sanitizer, and cancel your appointment if not feeling well or showing symptoms. Most appointments are being held outdoors under one of our lovely shade trees for added safety.
