Tuesday Morning Notes

January 20, 2004



The Prescott Cooperative Extension Office has moved to 840 Rodeo Dr., Bldg. C, Prescott, AZ 86305-0388 on the Prescott Rodeo Grounds (the old Yavapai Cty. fairgrounds). Yavapai County refurbished the old 4-H building to create a 3,900 sq. ft. office space, classroom, conference room and room to add additional personnel. Combined support from Yavapai County and CALS Executive Council provided partial support for a new phone system and a fiber optic Internet connection. This project was made possible through generous support for the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors.

Applications for the Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program - National Integrated Water Quality Program are being requested. Deadline for application is April 24, 2004. For further information see: http://www.reeusda.gov/1700/funding/04/rfa_com_grants_prg_04.htm

Cooperative Extension Scholarship in-service is planned for February 11 at the U of A Student Union, Catalina and Tucson meeting rooms, 10:00am-3:00pm.
