have the membership canvass in Huron
on August 27. 28 and 29.
Huron is in need of volunteers to
work at IPM in OFA tent at Petrolia for
Thursday, September 19. Several have
been recruited, but we still need a few
more. If interested, call 482-9642.
The Seaforth Agricultural Society is
having another "tractor draw" this fall.
A motion was made by Jeanne Kirkby,
seconded by Ken Scott, to donate an
OFA membership to the "event," as this
would give HCFA a lot of publicity
coverage.
