<p class="MsoNormal">As you all know the COVID-19 national emergency continues to be challenging to evaluate and respond. With a heavy heart, as of today all UA in-person programs (including 4-H) commenced during May and June must be cancelled. I am providing
you a heads-up today to allow you a chance to prepare. A communication will go out to all 4-H families at noon on Monday and be shared on social media. To allow you to plan and to keep confusion at the barest minimum I trust you with this information. However,
I ask you: <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, based on my own assessment of the situation and reading the tea-leaves of this latest announcement I am hoping we might be out of the woods on July 1, and we can help provide high-quality developmental social engagement to youth
starting after that. <o:p></o:p></p>
