August Meeting

The August meeting of Rockbridge Young Farmer’s will take place next Thursday, August 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Leisure Time Restaurant located inside America’s Best Value Inn north of Lexington. Dinner will be Dutch Treat.

We will be discussing raffle ticket sales, specifically August 29 at the Rockbridge Community Festival from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you have not picked up your tickets, you may do so at Farm Credit or at this meeting. We also hope to have a draft of the new tri-fold brochure to review at the meeting. We would like to have copies made to distribute at the Festival to prospective new members. We will also finalize plans for our annual picnic on Sept. 13.
