Tiger Community! Our Jefferson West FFA Chapter is looking for sponsorships for their Affiliate Membership Program. The program provides an FFA membership to every student enrolled in an Agricultural class. Because of the membership, the chapter isn’t able to collect dues from members, and are asking local businesses if they would be interested in donating to the program and the chapter. Any leftover money would then be used to pay for National Convention, FFA blue jacket grants, and leadership development opportunities. Below is the flier explaining the different divisions of donations and what they include. If you have any questions or would like to donate please contact Steve Buss at 785-484-3331 or steve.buss@usd340.org.
