SWISS VALLEY GALS
make your reservations today
Midwest Dairy Association knows that the dairy
production story is best told by the dairy farmers who
live it everyday. “People Behind the Product” is a new
comprehensive program designed to give consumers facts
about dairy production. If you’re a woman involved in a
Swiss Valley Farms dairy operation, then you’re invited to
be among the first to hear this innovative new program
from MDA.
The Swiss Valley Gals are invited to come hear Donna
Moenning, Director of Industry Relations for MDA, give
you the tools to tell your own dairy story to your neighbors
and friends. Come to her “Speak Out!” workshop at the
next Swiss Valley Gals meeting and receive training on
good presentation skills, what are the key dairy messages
and how to help promote good community relations for
dairy.
This is good information for any woman involved in
dairying and Donna is well versed in how to talk to the
media and has presented similar workshops at our Swiss
Valley Farms Young Cooperator conferences. A former
radio broadcaster, Donna is more than pleased to be
sharing her presentation pointers with the Swiss Valley
Gals, who are truly the “People Behind the Product”.
Any woman who is a Swiss Valley Farms co-op member
or who works for a Swiss Valley Farms member is considered
a Swiss Valley Gal and is invited to participate.
Look for the meeting closest to you and mark your
calendar now. Contact other Swiss Valley Farms members
in your area and see about car-pooling. Come join in
the fun and camaraderie of being with your fellow Swiss
Valley Farms members.
