Hi All,

I just wanted to share an invite to the Area 3 Potato Harvest. Each year we harvest potato to be donated to local food banks. Please share with your area clubs. We'd love to have you join us! 

The Potato Project Potato Harvest      Date: Sunday September 22     Time: 1-5pm

Location: 22 Luckenbill Road, Kutztown, PA 19530. This is the Kutztown University farm near their German Heritage Center just off Main Street on the west side of the KU campus.

All are welcome! Invite your family & friends for this rewarding & fun service day! Bring gloves & wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Please RSVP to me by Sept 20. More info below.

We will be picking potatoes to be donated to local food banks. All community members & families are welcome to join us for a fun day volunteering! The Potato Project is volunteers like yourself, coming together to plant, tend, harvest and help provide food to neighbors finding themselves in need.

We will donate these potatoes to the Berks Food Bank to assist food-insecure people in a 5-county area. Please join other District 7430 Rotarians at this location which is at Kutztown University's farm near their German Heritage Center. This is a perfect project for all Rotarians and friends. Those who do not pick can help by:

1. serving freshly cut French fried potatoes and drink to other volunteers
2. taking pictures,
3. assisting with boxes on pallets for others to load
4. Exchange students, Rotaract and Interact members are invited. Children and grandchildren are welcome too, provided you supervise them with qualified adults. Please share this opportunity with your Interact Club and other friends and let me know how many will participate by September 20, 2019. This is a change of location with better parking than the church field we previously picked.

Please calendar this event today. Bring family, friends, neighbors. The more the merrier. See Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/468136317356142/

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Thanks & have a great day!
