Hey all!

Michigan has offered a few opportuinties for virtual learning as we have pivoted into a new format for education due to COVID-19.  The following are webinars that have been presented, recorded and close captioned for viewing; please feel free to use them as you feel appropriate.

Swine Influenza Tips and Toolkits to Strengthen Response--the webinar audience is fair staff, superintendents and board memebers, Extension county staff, and local public health staff. The webinar highlights tools that Michigan has developed to help coordinate the response between local and state organizations during cases of swine influenza at fairs so that we can all work effectively and effficiently to address situations together.

Brooke, I too apologize for not writing sooner. We do have a 4-H Livestock Camp in Washburn, ND, in the month of June. I am not sure if that would be something you would be interested in. I know this is kind of late notice. 

Mimi, The PP looked good! I know I have already had a few parents tell me how much they liked working with the new Blue Not Flu kids version on the BlueNotFlu.org site. Thank you for all of your hard work with this!

Hi all! APHL recently hosted a webinar "Influenza in the One Health Context" and talked about the YIA project and partnerships. The slides presented on the call will be posted under "Docs & Files" for your reference. Go take a look and let us know if you'd like to access the recorded webinar!

Hi Jacqueline - thanks for the response!  I know it's a busy time of year for everyone!  We would love to know more info about your event.  Where is it located and what time would the event take place on those days?  Is there one or two days that would be better to attend than the others? Thanks in advance!

Brooke, I'm sorry to have not seen your message sooner! We will have a booth at the World Pork Expo June 4-8 in which we will be doing hands-on activities with youth participating in the swine show. You are welcome to come to Iowa to check it out!

Hi everyone!  My name is Brooke Chase and I am an intern on the Influenza education among Youth in Ag. project for Maine. In thinking ahead, we're  looking to gain experience from other state's projects and would love the opportunity to do a site-visit and see first hand how some of you are using this grant to educate youth.  Based on travel approval restrictions, we are curious to know if any state has anything going on in June 2018? We could also do something in July or August but June is ideal. Feel free to email me directly at brooke.chase@maine.edu if that is easiest.  Thanks in advance!
