HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.)— The Pennsylvania Dairy
Promotion Program recently paid
out nearly $29,000 in local fund
ing promotion dollars to 34 county
promotion committees across
Pennsylvania. The funds were
provided for the January to June
1992 funding period and included
promotions for June Dairy Month,
CHEERS at proms, radio advertis
ing, and school promotions.
"We heartily support the efforts
of county promoters throughout
Pennsylvania." said Brian Ross,
program manager, in announcing
the awards. "County promoters
help extend our efforts in product
promotion through Real seal
promotions, school presentations,
in-store demonstrations, and
more. These volunteers work
many hours to teach thousands of
Pennsylvania consumers."
In addition to the funding dol
lars, the PDPP offers promotional
materials in the form of recipe
brochures, coloring books, and
other items.
PDPP has recently hired Nadine
Houck to coordinate local promo
tion efforts in the state. County
promoters will have an opportuni
ty to meet Nadine at the spring
dairy princess meetings where she
will be discussing promotional
opportunities with today's baby
boomers. 1
The PDPP provides funding
twice annually through an applica
tion process. Funding requests for
the July to December 1992 fund
ing period, will be due in the
PDPP office by April 30,1992. To
receive applications, county
promotion committees must
attend one of the spring local
