Our office is very fortunate to have great support staff. Deb Evenson is our Administrative Assistant, working with the budget, providing computer support, working extensively with 4-H, and is the web page master. Brenda Vertin is receptionist, provides support for the FNP, Pesticide Recertification Program, and 4-H enrollment program. The help of these two efficient support staff help to shorten our work days.

We are open to any and all suggestions from the public. Please find our phone number, e-mail and web site addresses printed on the enclosure, or stop into our office and let us serve your needs.
