Mount Vernon News staffer Bill Amick ran across this notice from USDA regarding the availability of Animal Care Externships for college students. He thought the program might be of interest to some of the many students currently receiving Community Foundation scholarships, and passed the information on to me. It looks like a fine opportunity and I appreciate Bill making us aware of it. It’s great to live in a community where people like Bill are willing to go out of their way to help others. Thanks, Bill!

Here’s the link for you to share with students who may be interested.
