‘74’ FHA organizes numerous projects Despite the decrease in membership this year, FHA managed to complete a number of projects. FHA family night was held early in the fall for the parents of the members. Other social activities included a bowling pizza party for old and new members and a Christmas party gift exchange. The community also benefited from FHA projects. The girls donated $100 to the Wahoo Community Chest. They raised the money by selling Christmas ornaments and household products. A “goodies” raffle was also held during the halftime of a home basketball game. The money raised by the project enabled the FHA girls to have an evening out. Mrs. Rhonda Carritt completed her second year of sponsoring FHA this year. She encouraged projects and sponsored group events. FHA members. Debbie Peterson.
