Alexander County 4-H Newsletter
May 2021
The Alexander County Center is now open to the public. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the health of county employees, citizens who are sick or running a fever should not visit these facilities. Citizens who do visit are required to wear a cloth face covering and maintain social distance of at least six feet.  The county still encourages business to be conducted via phone or email when possible, but realizes that in-person interaction is necessary in some cases. Agents are still available, so please call them at 828-632-4451 or email. For a list of email addresses click the following link: https://alexander.ces.ncsu.edu/people/
