Diller-Odell FFA News
2/20/2009 12:25:04 PM

Community Service Projects
   The chapter assists with labor for the annual village of Diller summer clean up by loading brush, appliances, and miscellaneous trash.  Then, they haul it to a dumping point.  This year, members also assisted with a clean up in Odell. 

   The chapter operates a dunk stand during the Diller Picnic; constructs a float for the Diller Picnic parade; and set up the fence for the street dance; and assist with the Jefferson Farm Safety Day Camp for Just Kids.  Chapter members also constructed an outhouse for the NRD to be placed at Big Indian recreation area.   
 
Fundraising
   The main fund raising activity of the chapter is to conduct a hand-for-hire auction.    The members sell their labor for an eight-hour day, and the proceeds go to the chapter.  A second activity to raise funds is the annual fruit and summer sausage/jerky sales in the fall.

   Additional funds are picked up throughout the year from miscellaneous activities such as operating the dunk stand at the Diller Picnic.  The funds are used to pay for participation in various activities and contests throughout the year.

Other Activities
   Other activities our chapter has participated in this past year would include:  exhibiting at the Jefferson and Gage county fairs; exhibiting at the Nebraska State Fair; attending Husker Harvest Days; a back to school breakfast for members; competed in range and land judging contests; competed in the district leadership and ag skills contests; attended state and national convention activities; and plan to have a FFA dance with other chapters. 

   The chapter members observe National FFA Week by organizing various activities for each day of the week that school is held. 

   Some of this years activities  include  providing guessing games for the school to participate in, wear blue and gold, wear the FFA jackets, have a member breakfast, ag Olympics, and drive tractors and grain trucks to school.
