This past month Emily Doosing coordinated an AgrAbility & 4-H Save Your Brain outreach table at three back-to-school events. She handed out health, safety, and well-being educational materials and MO AgrAbility resources. She also led a brief 4-H activity on farm safety and injury prevention, and shared MU Extension MO AgrAbility resources with families at the Ripley County Fair. Emily is currently working with Missouri's 4-H ambassadors to work on red ribbon week activities.
