Mattilio Brings New Perspective (Continued from Pag* A 26) annually. A major promotion project is in the works. The association is spending $ll,OOO for Smokey Roberts Film and Videos to pro duce an educational video to be distributed to schools in 1998. The Pennsylvania Dept, of Agriculture donated $5,000 for the film project. “Now I know why Hollywood movies cost so much,” Mattilio said of the project” Mattilio is enthusiastic about the project. He said the video is educa tional, but the comedy format appeals to people of all ages and done in a way that will not become outdated for many years. Last year, the board struggled with the decision to designate that amount for promotion, but Mattil io said as treasurer he sees that money isn’t doing any good just H&S SERIES 2 ALL PURPOSE SPREADERS SPREADS ALL TYPES OF MANURE FROM LIQUIDS TO HARD PACKED.
