STORE HOURS: Mon.-FH. 7:90-4:90 The PFA planning and evalua tion team has worked diligently over the last several months to col lect and analyze information about PFA and its programs and opera tions. As a result, the IS-member team has been able to develop a reasonably accurate “forecast” of what PFA/ACFA will look like as an organization in 1997. In order to gain valuable insight as to what PFA should look like in 1997, the planning and evaluation team has scheduled six regional “speak-up meetings” across the state. Members of the planning team will review the planning mode, discuss the “1997 PFA Forecast,” and solicit ideas from Lancaster Fuming, Saturday, April it, IW2-A3l the membership regarding the changing future course of PFA. The meetings are open to all PFA members and staff. This is the opportunity as an individual, and as a leader in the county, to influence the future course of the organization and possibly agriculture that will serve the needs of the farming commun ity into the 21st century, according to the association. Attendance and active participation in Adams County is critical to the future suc cess and growth of ACFA/PFA and farming in general. For further information, contact president Dave Wenk, (717) 677-9553 or secretary Pam Ketter man, (717) 337-2845. Grassland FFA Hosts Animal Welfare Representative NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster Co.) — Ken Brandt, executive vice president of the Pennsylvanians for the Responsible Use of Ani mals (PRUA), will speak at the Grassland FFA Chapter meeting. Garden Spot High School, on Monday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m. His topic will be “PRUA: Organi zation and Mission.” PRUA is a federation of Pen nsylvania agricultural, biomedical/veterinary research, and professional wildlife manage ment organizations interested in the continued, responsible use of animals in Pennsylvania. Since its formation, PRUA has been active ly encouraging the humane treat ment of animals used in food, clo thing, and apparel production and biomedical research as well as animals whose welfare is the responsibility of Pennsylvania’s scientific wildlife management community. Brandt, a former Lancaster County representative, headed up this organization since February 1991. PRUA’s new projects and ini tiative include a traveling exhibit highlighting the importance of animal use in today’s society, a first and annual conference on responsible animal use, and their statewide venison-sharing project. Hunters Sharing the Harvest. Hunters Sharing' the Harvest is their largest and most extensive project to date. It is a cooperative effort by Pennsylvania’s hunters, meat processors, local food banks, and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. It was spearheaded by PRUA to provide meat for Pennsylvania’s local food banks. This past hunting season, the program generated more than 30,000 pounds of surplus venison for the needy in Pennsylvania. Brandt is looking forward to continued growth this year because of increased public awareness. “Our message ensuring our quality of life through the respon sible use of animals is being accepted by a growing number of people,” Brandt said. “This is important today when animal activists are gaining the spotlight and trying to dictate what people should eat, wear, or what activities they should not participate in because of purported cruelty.” For further information, call (717) 367-5223 or write to PRUA, Ken Brandt, P.O.
