As we begin planning for the 2025-26 school year, we would like to reach out and ask if there are any community activities, events, or initiatives where our chapter could assist or get involved. Whether it’s volunteering at events, lending a hand with projects, or helping promote local causes, we are always looking for ways to make a positive impact and gain real-world experience.
The Ottawa FFA Officer Retreat is scheduled for August 4th and 5th, during which we will plan our calendar and major activities for the upcoming year. If you have any events or ideas where you believe the FFA could help, it would be incredibly helpful to receive that information before August 4th so it can be shared with our officer team during the planning process. |
