May 29, 2021 Happy Memorial Day weekend! I hope everyone takes a moment to honor our Veterans who are no longer with us. News and Updates: ICE CREAM FLAVOR CONTEST: Our partner and friends down at Motley Moo Creamery in Anchorage tested the recipes that were submitted. They loved all of them, and they couldn't pick JUST ONE!! We have 2 winners of the contest! Please congratulate:
UAF officially moves to Phase C of COVID-19 response: while across the state, 4-H has had permission and been working with Phase C safety guidelines, it is now the official stance of UAF. What changes for you, is an easier process for having in-person meetings. No quiz or leader agreement needed. An approved mitigation plan is still required, but vaccinated individuals are no longer required to wear face coverings. Adults who are unvaccinated and all youth under 12 still need to be wearing face coverings in all indoor 4-H activities and outdoors when a 6 foot social distance cannot be maintained. If your group has a mitigation plan already approved and in place, no need to re-submit another plan, just use these updated guidelines for your activity. Any questions, please ask. If you are interested in meeting in-person, please head over to our webpage for guidance and links: alaska4h.org/current-covid-phase-c.html Statewide 4-H At-Home Summer Camp Kits: Registration opens June 1 for being a part of this fun "camp".
