Newark FFA Alumni Association Meeting

FFA Alumni play a very important part in keeping agricultural education and FFA programs in our local schools. FFA relies on its alumni to garner support for FFA from their local communities, raise funds for chapter activities and scholarships, assist at FFA leadership camps and conferences, and much more.

            Anyone who believes in the importance of FFA and agricultural education can be a member of the National FFA Alumni association.  Even if you never wore a blue jacket yourself, you’re welcome to join us as we prepare students for a brighter future.

            The Newark FFA Alumni Association will be holding a meeting Monday, November 26^th at 7 pm in the Newark Community High School Ag Room.  We will be having Jim McCray the Illinois FFA Alumni President and who is the National FFA Alumni President come and speak to members about how the alumni can benefit the school and your students.  If you have questions or interested in joining and cannot make the meeting contact Joe Steffen at 815-695-5164 ext. 228 or at jsteffen@newarkhs.k12.il.us.
