Agricultural Endeavors Culminate At Fair aid the club president Staci Dunn, FFA is great for anyone interest- ed in agriculture. We travel, win, and have fun while learning. As one of the most prominent clubs on campus, the Morro Bay Future Farmers of America is a success. The San Luis Obispo County Fair re- mains the most important event, but many other competitions and fund raisers take place during the year. Sev- eral banquets were held to give appre- ciation to those who support the group, including the animal buyers of the Fair. Mr. Souza, who has been lead- ing the group since 1965, said that these are an important part of commu- nicating with the public. Because the community is our largest supporter, we need to show our thanks. As part of a national safety program, Mr. Orton began a seat belt policy. Members displayed signs near the school exits asking drivers to Buckle up and belt a friend. The FFA barbeque became a com- mon sight at football games. The mon- ey raised from the cooked sausages helped send students to conventions and competitions. With help also com- ing from public donations, Shane Harp- ster and Melanie Miller traveled to Washington, D. C. for a delegate meet- ing and then to Kansas City for a na- tional FFA convention. l have never seen so many blue jackets, said Shane. This and other conventions are for the purpose of uniting the regional Chapters. i, ,I .ge- Q... kk Nr e . ii A
