—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. March 20.1976 12 Poultry Federation [Continued from Page 1] prestigious trade associations for poultrymen in the country. As a major poultry state, they wanted to join the ranks of the many notable poultry state trade associations in the South. Their, plans were specific with detags of expanding activities, broader responsibilities, and equitable representation of the entire industry - from the smallest producer to the hugest agri-business firm. All of these plans left only one question, how was it to be financed since mem bership dues alone do not totally finance any trade association. With some financial reserves to get started, they set their sights on their Annual ($5O-a-plate) Fund Raising Banquet as the solution when the reserves were gone. Two and a half years later, their membership in the association has doubled. But the real Cinderella story is the Annual Fund Raising Banquet. With total sales of 340 tickets in 1974, they set as their first goal 525 tickets for 1975, 25 more than had ever been sold in the Banquet’s five year history. When the 1975 Annual Fund Raising Banquet arrived, they ex ceeded their goal with 545 tickets. For the 1976 Banquet scheduled for April 1,1976, at the Host Farm in Lancaster, they set a goal of 750 tickets. The Federation office reported with over two weeks to go, they had already passed the 800 mark. All of this begged the question, how do you manufacture success?

We got a lot of answers on this particular success story from Penn sylvania poultrymen. Some answers were as simple as moving the date for the banquet from the uncertain weather of Farm Show week to a spring date, changing the program from speakers to professional en tertainment, adding door prizes and inviting well- Repair Service & Sales Stock Prods and Batteries known Pennsylvanians as special guests. Some an swers were more com plicated such as the power of the new image of the association and developing a must-attend banquet at mosphere. Finally, some were more practical such as expanding the number of ticket salesmen (55 this year), selecting two key industrymen to Co-Chair the event, Dale M. Weaver and Kenneth Longacre, giving recognition to participants through the association newsletter, and budgeting more money for the banquet. It is certain all of these have equal merit, but the real key here has special significance for all of agriculture - the power of determined people. We need to use that source more often for the protection and benefit of the most important people on this planet, those who provide our life substenance.
