FFA/ FCCLA Officers Deliver Care Packages
On Friday the 21st of December the EMF FFA and FCCLA officers delivered care packages to children waiting for or have had organ transplants at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NE. It was an amazing experience to be able to make the childrens day and to give them hope. We delivered forty-five bags in total. We also got the chance to learn more about the human heart, from infant to adult sizes, and heart conditions. The officers learned a lot of new things and got the chance to see how organ donations can save multiple lives.

Old Business
On January 11th the EMF FFA Chapter held a Chapter meeting at the Exeter High School discussing the annual FFA Banquet, FFA Week, and Chapter Committees. The Chapter voted to have Todd Pribyl cook the meat. A Big thank you to Todd. We also decided to do some fun activities for FFA Week that could help encourage and inform other students what agriculture is about and how the FFA Organization contributes to agriculture. These events were planned by each committee.
