🌱 Learning, Partnership & Community!

Today, Jennifer and her friends at Rotary of Bartow County had the opportunity to hear from Paul Pugliese with UGA Extension Bartow County!

UGA Extension is a partnership between the University of Georgia, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and counties across the state. Their team is on the forefront of food safety, technology, research, and education, helping keep Georgia’s economy strong and making life better for Georgians.

Paul is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to agriculture, and the many resources UGA Extension provides our community. We’re also fortunate to share an office building with Paul and his amazing team at the Olin Tatum Agricultural Building!

A big thank you to Rotary for continually inviting wonderful speakers who help us learn more about the people and organizations making a difference in Bartow County.

And thank you to Paul and the entire UGA Extension of Bartow County team for all you do to educate, serve, and strengthen our community! 💚
