ORONO — University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H plans to offer a virtual 4-H Dog SPIN (SPecial INterest) Club.

This short-term club will meet once a month from January through June.

The first meeting is set for 9 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 22.

The club, which will focus on all things dogs, is open to Maine youth who will be between the ages of 9 and 18 by Dec. 31. Participants do not need to own a dog; they just need to be enthusiastic about learning more about them.

The club also seeks adult volunteers interested in helping plan activities. Participants do not need to be knowledgeable about dogs, just willing to help out.

The registration deadline is Jan. 7. For more information on the club or to register, visit the Virtual 4-H Dog SPIN Club page.

For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, call 207-942-7396 or email sheila.norman@maine.edu.
