The impact of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) continues to create uncertainty and concern both globally and here in our community. Following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, the University of Illinois has implemented social-distancing protocols that impact all university events. Illinois Extension, as the outreach program of the university, aligns with all policies related to public health and safety.
Effective immediately, ALL face-to-face events organized by Illinois Extension have been cancelled, suspended, or transitioned to online delivery. This will apply to all events previously scheduled through May 31, 2020.
This plan may change based on guidance and direction provided by the local public health department. Look for specific information about other cancellations and postponements on our website (look for communications updated regularly on our homepage). We are working to support all Illinois families at this time. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this situation.Do you have baking experience? Do you know how to follow a recipe on your own? Join 4-H youth leader, Maddie, as she leads this fun workshop at the Carbondale Neighborhood Co-op Grocery Store. Youth ages 8-18 will learn how to bake a six inch cake with zero waste!
When you register we need to know your cake choice and frosting choice. You will need to bring containers to fill with bulk ingredients and you may be asked to provide some additional ingredients from home (it's no waste, after all!) The cost is $10 for this workshop, which includes a cake pan, reusable shopping bag and reusable towel to take home with you. Those interested should register by calling the Jackson County Extension Office at (618) 687-1727 or contact Becky at bneedham@illinois.edu.
University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. Individuals that require reasonable accommodation to participate in programming should contact (618) 687-1727. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting access needs.
