meeting date September bad INPUT NEEDED ASAP

daniel.robb...@k12.sd.us — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:15:23 UT

Officers we need to move the September meeting date as there is very little if any time in September to meet without conflicting with an activity!
I'm suggesting 8/31, this coming Monday, as an informal meeting and grilling at the school, then maybe we could maybe do speed volleyball and compete against each officers fantasy team?

Kayla Tingle has been accepted as a 2009 National FFA Talent Participant at the National FFA Convention, held at Indianapolis, IN, October 21st to 24th.
Kayla had to apply at the end of the 08-09 school year and had to submit previous video performance along with her application. This include her performance at the 2009 SD FFA Convention last spring.
