Southern Illinois Extension Celebration

Now is the time to register for the 100 Year Extension Celebration in Mt. Vernon, IL. The deadline is April 18th. Here is the URL: https://webs.extension.uiuc.edu/registration/?RegistrationID=9790. You may also contact Patti Fitzpatrick at 618-242-9474.

All Extension retirees, former Extension workers, current Extension staff and their guests are invited. You should have received an e-mail concerning this, but if you did not, send a note to ieafcslife@gmail.com for more information.

The event is Friday, May 2nd from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 or 2:00 p.m.at Crossroads Hospital, #8 Doctors Park Rd, in Mt. Vernon, IL. A lasagna and salad lunch will be served. There will be a short program related to Extension's history, and plenty of time for sharing with  former co-workers and friends. Everyone is encouraged to bring photos, mementos, and stories.

The University of Illinois is covering some of the costs for the day, but each attendee will need to pay $5.00 to help with the cost of lunch. Take a minute and register now!

The planning committee is Bev Combs, Larry Casey, Paul Wirth, Ruby Lingle, Joy Richey, Pam Jacobs, Linda Crawl Jackson, and Jane Scherer. We hope to see you there.

Two other celebrations are also planned for May 9th in Naperville, and May 13th in Morris, IL. Contact your local Extension office for more information on those.
