UMaine Day at the Legislature - 4-H Honorary Page Program
UMaine Day at the Legislature, Thursday, March 11th, is quickly approaching. Since legislators like to see 4-H members from their districts, 4-Hers (recommended age 13 or older) are encouraged to serve as Honorary Pages. The Maine 4-H program has reserved [25] spots for Honorary Pages.
What does a Page do?
Pages hand out information to Representatives or Senators or place the paper information on their desks. They also hand phone and other messages to Representatives and Senators on the floor.
To learn more about what Honorary Pages do, visit the website listed at the end of this article. If you are interested in serving as a page on [March 11th], please contact Kristy Ouellete in Androscoggin & Sagadahoc Counties at 353-5550 or 1-800-287-1458, or kmeisner@umext.maine.edu. She will be serving as the coordinator of the 2010 program.
We will attempt to have pages from different parts of the state. Slots, representing different state senators and representatives, will be filled in the order they are received. If the slot for your legislative district has been filled, your name will be added to a wait list in the order it is received. If you are leaving a message, please be sure to say “I am interested in serving as a 4-H Page at the Legislature on [March 11th]”.
Your slot will be reserved if you leave this complete information:
- full name
- age
- mailing address
- county
- phone number
- email address
- name of your school
- grade in school
- name of your 4-H Club
- name of your Maine State Representative
- name of your Maine State Senator
4-H Honorary Pages will be in the Capitol from 8:30am – 3:00pm. A parent or 4-H volunteer provides transportation and chaperoning. For a complete list of expectations and duties, visit the 4-H Honorary Page Program webpage at www.umext.maine.edu/Waldo/4H/Pages.
