November-December E-Update
In December, members delivered items from our 2016 Christmas Sales of Fruit, Meat, and BBQ Seasonings. The chapter sold over 1100 items and we would like to thank our community for all of the support with this fundraiser. Our top sales person in the chapter was Eugene Harris for the second year in a row and Brett Bontrager was our second place salesperson. Thank you to all of the members that sold and all of the community members that purchased items.
FFA members helped their community
in November by organizing a blood drive.
Members spent days in class calling people notifying them of the
event. Once the notification and
preparation was complete, several members took the time to help set up the
blood drive in the gym. Members’ hard
work and dedication paid off with a large amount of blood donated in the end!
