The National Organization of Agriculture Students WEST ORANGE FFA 'EctipA,`> 1625 S.Beulah Road k.V i ey.% Winter Garden,FL 34787 January 10, 2000 Dear Commissioners City of Ocoee The West Orange FFA Chapter is not requesting a specific grant from The City of Ocoee. The city has supported our chapter with various contributions in the past and they have always been appreciated. Kindra Harrington has requested to give a short presentation at your meeting as a requirement of The Youth Steer Show Program at The Florida State Fair, Kindra is raising our chapter steer for this years State Fair. The students must have 3 talks before different types of groups as part of the requirement of The Youth Steer Futurity Program. The steers do not sell at auction at the State Fair but are sold at rail price. This means that in order to make a profit students earn points for presenting talks and they find sponsors to contribute to the cost of raising the steer. If the City would like to contribute to the cost of raising the steer, that would be appreciated. However, we would also be appreciative if Kindra could present her talk on the State Fair Program allowing her to receive 30 points in the Achievement Awards Program at the $tate Fair. The money from the chapter steer is used to support the many activities our FFA chapter participates in. This year The West Orange FFA chapter was recognized as a Gold Star Chapter at the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky this past November. These awards are presented to the top FFA chapters in the country for their chapter accomplishments for the year. Kindra attended the convention to pickup this award for our chapter. Sincerely, ifri Rick Stotler FFA Advisor The FFA Mission FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership,personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
