SAE Grants & Free Jacket Application

September is coming to a close and that means we have a few FFA events approaching.  Next week, we have the General Livestock, Diary Judging and Horse Judging contests at the University of Minnesota Fall invitational.

There are a few opportunities available for FFA members to take advantage of.  The first is the Blue Jackets, Bright Futures program through the Minnesota FFA Foundation.  Click on the link and compete the application to apply for a free FFA jacket through the Minnesota FFA Foundation.

The National FFA Organization has also announced their 2012 SAE Grant program.  This is a great program for anyone looking for some money to help build their SAE projects.  This money comes in the form of a grant, so it does not have to be repaid.  While this is a national program, 3 students from our chapter have been awarded grants over the past five years so we encourage everyone to apply.

Welcome Back!

We hope you had a great summer but fall is approaching and it is time to return to school.

A couple of things:
If you are interested in attending National Convention, we need your commitment and $150.00 deposit by Friday of this week (9/7).
We will be having a Summer Ag meeting on Thursday morning at 7:45 to discuss progress and what is needed to fulfill requirements.
We will have an officer meeting on Friday morning at 7:45 in the Ag Classroom.

Our first meeting will be on Monday, September 17th at 5:30 pm in the Ag Classroom.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
