Dr. John Avery, chairman of
the agribusiness department at
DVC, had the opportunity to dis
cuss the food and agricultural
aspects of the American economy
with the international students,
whose economy is largely based
on agriculture. “They were parti
cularly interested in the business
practices of American agriculture
and how the free enterprise market
relates to it,” said Avery.

The Four Diamonds Fund raises
approximately 99-percent of their
funds from community organiza
tions and events. Annually, the
fund supports more than 350
children with cancer. The fund
supports children and families by
providing one hundred percent
coverage of hospital bills not cov
eted by family insurance. Addi
tional'monies from the fund are
used to support programs at the
Medical Center, including child

was created to provide families
with support for the tremendous
financial burden from
hospitalization.

Pennsylvania’s ice cream
industry is the second largest in
the country. The state’s abun
dance of fresh cream and milk
makes Pennsylvania an excellent
location for ice cream manufactur
ing. Our citizens are also known
as ice cream connoisseurs, and the
“Scooper Bowl” offers the public
another opportunity to sample
some new products as well as old
favorites.
Pennsylvania’s Dairy Promo
tion Partners have been collective
ly promoting dairy products for
the state’s dairy farmers since
1989. Further information about
