New Staff at Extension Office:
Please welcome the new staff members at the Hall County
Extension Office. Becky Rogers is secretary to Billy
Skaggs, and Wanda Cannon is the Master Gardener
coordinator.
Becky comes to the Extension Office from Grace Episcopal
Church where she was office assistant for over four years.
Looking for new challenges with an emphasis on customer
service prompted Becky to apply for the secretary opening
for the Hall County Cooperative Extension. This position
is a wonderful opportunity and fits her gifts and talents
very well. A 14 year resident of Hall County, Becky lives
in North Hall with son Paul and daughter Katie.
Wanda is a 2006 Hall County Master Gardener. A UGA
graduate, Wanda is married with two daughters and a son.
Wanda and her family have lived in the Gainesville area for
12 years. She is an active member of the beautification
committees at Centennial Elementary and Gainesville Middle
School.
Thanks, too, to Polly Reins for filling in at the office
while selection of these staff members was underway.
