Due to our removal from the Nassau County budget, CCE-NC needs to rely on its volunteers more than ever. We have many volunteer opportunities in all areas of extension work – nutrition, camp, horticulture, even as board members. If you are interested volunteering a portion of your time to CCE-NC, please contact Dionne Marshak at 516-433-7970 x 17.
