impact with its clients, “success” stories showing how Extension worked with
the client, and the end result or value of working with Extension

of UNH Cooperative Extension – the Extension is embarking on fundraising, in
coordination with the UNH Foundation, and the Extension specialists tasked with
this effort need one-page “fact” sheets that relate to how Extension would use
private donations.
Interview clients throughout the state,
attending twilight and other meetings that show how Extension’s field
specialists work with their clients.
Any “breaking” news such as how the Extension
can provide information on the West Nile Virus, ticks, food safety, etc., that
