Next Board Meeting
Annual Meeting
Hi Friend of the Oliver Kelley Farm
Please join us at the Oliver Kelley Farm on November 5th for a fun program and pork chop luncheon.
We need you to help celebrate another productive year on the Farm. With your support the Kelley Farm has continued to do what it has done for over 150 years, to be a source of knowledge, fun and inspiration for citizens of all ages.
The program starts at 10am with an interactive and fun program on the Farm site entitled Final Harvest. Final Harvest will feature the various preparations 1860s farmers needed to complete before winter set in.
At 11:30 a free luncheon will be served featuring the culinary skills of Those Pork Chops. During the luncheon those who have financially supported our 2011 Annual Campaign will be recognized.
A short Annual Meeting will follow.
There is no charge to you for the program and the luncheon. Family members are also welcome.
We do need you to rsvp to 763/441/6896 by no later than October 31st.
Please plan on attending. I hope to see you on November 5th. Sincerely,
John Kuester,
President Friends of the Kelley Farm
