Extension Update
Henniker Participates in Community Profile
Henniker had its Community Profile on April 17-18, with about 60 citizens in attendance over the two days. Projects resulting from the event include:
- Create a comprehensive facility that incorporates many programs now in separate locations (i.e. after-school, health, education, recreation, athletics for all ages of the community.)
- Create a riverwalk project.
- Conduct a study to determine the socio-economic potential of the natural resources while maintaining the rural character of the town's natural resources.
- Improve the town's Web site with a central community events calendar that ensures easy navigation, developed by a professional who maintains the site.
- Improve communication about volunteer opportunities and requirements, by having more personal contact with them through an e-newsletter.
The follow-up meeting, facilitated by UNH Cooperative Extension, takes place May 4 to help guide the project groups in outlining goals, objectives, strategies and timelines.
Special thanks for UNH Cooperative Extension staff for facilitating the success of this event: Dan Reidy, Thom Linehan, Charlie French, Tim Fleury, Mike Koski, Gail Kennedy and Seth Wilner. Seven students from UNH helped scribe. For more information, contact Michele Gagne at michele.gagne@unh.edu
