Fruit Sales Information & October Meeting Agenda
From our meeting this past Thursday:
October Meeting Agenda
Fruit Sales Information:
We are kicking off our annual FFA fundraiser on Monday, October 14th. We will be selling through the 28th. The main difference this year is that we are collecting money at the time of sale, not the time of delivery. Delivery date is 12/10/13. We are offering the same products from our traditional vendors, with some slight changes. Prices are flat to slightly higher. For fruit - offerings are the same with prices the same for the most part. For Butter-Braids - offerings are the same but prices went up by $1. Cheese - offerings the same but prices are significantly higher. Snack items - prices are the same but we eliminated some of our lower selling items. Kettle Korn - no changes. Steve's Meat Market - offerings are mostly the same except cheese curds were changed from colby cheese in the snack attack and the hot snack sticks were changed to pepperjack sticks. Finally, we have added a $25 gift certificate from Steve's so people can choose their own items at their Ellendale store.

February Activities
February promises to be another busy month for Medford FFA members!
All State Degree and Proficiency apps are due Tuesday, 2/5 so we can print and get signatures before we turn them in on Wednesday, 2/6. Interviews for state degrees, region stars, proficiencies, and region officers will be on Thursday, 2/14.
Our February FFA meeting will be on the morning of Monday, 2/11. It is a week earlier than usual because we don't have school on the next Monday (2/18).

We will be traveling with Owatonna and Blooming Prairie to visit our local senators and representatives in St. Paul. This year will be exciting because we will have the opportunity to meet our new Senator Jensen and Representative Petersburg. We will also be meeting with Representative Patti Fritz, who has been and continues to be a good advocate for Ag Education.
Our next round of contests will be on March 7th at SCC in Mankato. Contests that day will include Crops, Ag Mechanics, and Farm Business Management. Practices are typically on Thursday and Friday mornings with practices posted on Monday morning on posters in the school.
