Tomales FFA
Friends of Ag
Submitted by Jeanette Furlong
Tomales FFA is very lucky to have many local businesses support our chapter , so we can achieve all of our goals , and attend the conferences that we do ! To show our appreciation each year , Tomales FFA hosts a Friends of Ag Dinner , where we provide dinner , a live auction , silent auction , and many other fun activities for our supporters to enjoy ! Our officer team worked on some of the finer aspects of the event . Each officer was assigned different places to hang informational posters about the event , and a separate list to gather donations for our silent and live auctions ! As the day of the event quickly approached , our officer team took two whole days to prepare the hall that we would be using . The night of the event as our advisor walked around the room , he heard nothing but fabulous comments about this year ’ s dinner . We hope that next year , we can expand the amount of people that come , and raise additional funds for our up and coming school farm .
