New Holland Rochester has been a proud supporter of the local Optimist Club by supporting their local community projects such as the pumpkin project.
The Rochester Optimist Club grows pumpkins to sell in order to raise money to support the club’s mission, “Friendship of Youth.” Jim, Jesse, and Matt Straeter, owners of the New Holland Rochester business and Optimist Club members themselves, dedicate their time and resources to help make sure the pumpkin harvest is successful. This year, the club had sales in excess of $30,000 (another record year!)
The Straeter’s are thankful for having such a great group of members in the Rochester Optimist Club, access to a field to harvest the pumpkins (generously donated by Dick Belcher this year), the equipment to make the harvest go as smoothly as possible, and to be in such a great community of people who support our project and mission. Thanks again to everyone who made the Optimist Club’s pumpkin project a successful year!
