UGA Extension Douglas County

Greetings Douglas Extension Family! We would like to announce the start of our new and updated Extension page. We have made this page with the goal of better management for our audience and to better serve our county. The current page in which this message is coming from will become inactive overtime and will eventually be deleted once we have most of our followers on our new page.

We ask that all current followers please make your way to our new page and give us a follow! We have included a link to our new page below:

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570173729975&mibextid=LQQJ4d

If you search up the page we are aware of how similar the previous and new page profiles appear, but just refer to the black Extension profile picture and you should find the new one without trouble! When you search up the new page, you may have to scroll down a few posts to see the page with its black profile picture only because it is so new.

Thank you all for being a part of our audience and family and we look forward to seeing you follow our new page with all the updates and events to come for Douglas Extension!
