Manor FFA forming alumni unit
MILLERSVILLE Seeing an
opportunity to promote a greater
knowledge of the agricultural
industry and support education in
agriculture, former members of
the Future Farmers of America,
parents and others launched a
major drive this week in the Penn
Manor area to form an FFA
Alumni Association.
The aim is to provide a
mechanism whereby the Alumni
members can actively promote
and support the FFA organization,
FFA activities, and vocational
agriculture.
The local drive is part of a State
and National effort currently
underway to unite those interested
into the FFA Alumni Asociation.
‘‘Since the FFA Alumni
Association is a newly formed
organization, those who will join
now will be the charter members
of the Penn Manor FFA Alumni
Association,” said Merv Keagy,
acting president of the local
organizational effort, “and we
would like to have as many charter
members as possible.”
“We seek the help of every
potential member in the area to
organize and charter the local FFA
Alumni Association,” said Merv.
All former, active, collegiate, or
honorary FFA and NFA members.
