Colby FFA Banquet
May. 12, 2008
The Colby FFA banquet was held on Thursday, May 8. It has been two years since I have been to our banquet, and it was great to go back.
Congratulations to all of the Colby FFA members on all of their accomplishments. You should all be very proud of what you have done this year.
I would also like to say thank you to Mr. Wirkus, Mrs. Raatz and ALL the FFA members and officers for everything that you do for me. The Colby FFA members are always there when I need them - whether it's folding newsletters to send in the mail, or cutting out letters for decorations - I appreciate everything that they have done for me this year to make it go a little bit easier! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
URGENT! Did You Pay Your Dues?
May. 06, 2008
According to National FFA, there are still about 500 FFA members that need to be approved yet for FFA membership. That means that final payment has not been received.
Please remember that before your members can be processed by the Wisconsin Association of FFA and sent onto National FFA, your payment must be received at DPI in Madison.
If you did not receive a PDF invoice from Peoplesoft on your e-mail account shortly after Chapter Roster Approval, contact the FFA Center immediately, and they will request an invoice from National FFA.
Payment must be made payable to "Wisconsin Association of FFA." Payment is just as important as the roster. No membership rosters will be forwarded to National FFA without payment. Also please include a paper copy of your PDF with your check, so it is easier to identify your payment with the batch you are paying for.
The mailing address for payment and a copy of your PDF invoice is:
