Supporters Of FFA Announce Plans; Seek Members

— On Tuesday, January 12, the Gravette FFA Supporters met to work on club organization and fundraising efforts.

It was decided to have monthly meetings through the spring, then to meet quarterly or sooner as our projects warrant. We feel the monthly meetings will ensure that the scholarship process is completed in a timely manner. The FFA Chapter advisor would like recipients to be recognized at our local banquet scheduled for April.

Brochures providing information about who we are, what we do and our plans for the future will be circulating the community to aid in our membership drive.

It was voted to set up our own e-mail account and post office box. These addresses will be in our next report.

Requirements for the scholarships we will be awarding were discussed in detail. Prior to our next meeting an application will be drawn up to be approved by appointed members. These applications will then be distributed to eligible FFA members.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, February 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the Gravette Agriculture Dept. at the High School. Those interested in supporting our club by attending our meetings or becoming a member may call 479-291-4649.
