About our Chapter
Chartered in 1974, our chapter maintains over 204 members. FFA members may choose to participate by training for a leadership team~chapter conducting, radio, job interview, public speaking, skills team or try a career development event team such as meats judging, livestock, floriculture, tractor mechanics, horse, or by selecting, feeding, and grooming an animal to present before a livestock judge. They purchase the animal of choice and work everyday preparing for the show. The project requires an enormous amount of commitment and responsiblity. It should be considered a family project with the responsiblity resting on the FFA member known as the exhibitor. Many important experiences including the aspects of the free enterprise system, time management, self motivation, financial planning and accurate record keeping can be gained from raising an SAE~supervised agriculture experience project. Raising animal projects is not a requirement, but is an excellent way to develop responsibilty, a solid character, build on a college fund and have fun along the way.

Thank You Card Etiquette
Proper thank you card etiquette is thoughtfulness that reflects your gratitude and appreciation. A simple effort today may help maintain heartfelt bonds for years to come
Handwritten
A custom printed design with your name printed is beautiful when the heartfelt message is handwritten. Even when you've thanked the other party in person, experts agree, that handwritten thank you note etiquette is the complimentary personal touch to a gift received. Always complete your thank you note with a handwritten message signed by the writer.
What to Write
Keep it simple from the heart and you can only say the right things.
Always use blue or blank ink, not pencil or colored ink.
Leave space on etiher side of your print and line up your margins.
Check for misspelled words and grammer. This is very important.
Sample Letter
Dear Mr & Mrs Smith,
Thank you very much for supporting my Supervised Agriculture Experience project at our county show.
The livestock show was a great success and I enjoyed being a part of it.
The show was a special event for me. My lamb placed 4th in class and I was excited to make the auction. Your support is a contribution to my college fund and my future.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Chambers County YPS next year.
Thank you again,
Nancy
