Hello ladies:

My name is Julianne Clouthier and I work in Agriculture Economic
Development for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Fulton and
Montgomery Counties.

I am looking to organize and event for female producers and farmers
in our area and would like to determine an interest level. I know
that this is production time for many of you, but I would like to get
a general time frame to host a gathering. I can have an event here at
extension, maybe a potluck lunch or dinner to bring us all together.
This can be Mohawk Valley, Capital Region, etc.

I look forward to working with anyone who is interested. Please send
any suggestions for what would benefit YOU and what you would like to
accomplish, or what you envision. I am researching ideas but need
your help to make it successful. I have had a great deal of interest
locally and I would like to develop a forum or monthly meeting
session for women. This meeting can include an agenda to answer
questions, increase awareness of local/regional seminars and
workshops, educational opportunities, equipment issues, and a time
for networking. Also, I would like to see a guest speaker for each
meeting that is relevant to women in agriculture.

I work part-time, so I will respond as quickly as possible to all emails.


Thank You,

Julianne
