Day of Service
Love to give service to others? We have an opportunity for you! This year, we have an opportunity for the first 200
students that register to work with a local non-profit organization in providing service. Students interested should
report to the courtyard of the Family & Consumer Sciences building (just SW of Centennial Hall) at 1 PM on Friday of
the State Leadership Conference. The service project will last from 1 PM to 3 PM.
Dodgeball
Competitive?...check. Like to throw things?...check. Well, we have just the thing for you. This year, we’ll be
holding our first ever Dodgeball tournament. If you’re interested, make your way to the Gittings Gym on the
UofA campus from 1 to 3 PM on Friday of the State FFA Leadership Conference. We’ll have a referee to explain
the rules and monitor the games. Grab your headband and sign up today.

We love country music! To prove it, we’ve contracted to have a live Country band to come and give a live
performance at the State Leadership Conference. Tickets are $15 each and available to every student and adult

T-shirt day for FFA!
Ya buddy! It’s T-shirt time! To better facilitate our activities on Friday (dodgeball, service project, workshops,
etc) and to celebrate the creativity of FFA chapters all around the state, we’re having our first ever “FFA T-shirt
day”. Beginning with breakfast and through the Second General Session on Friday AM until dinner, students
are encouraged to wear their favorite FFA T-shirt. For chapters that have made/designed their own shirt, we’ll
have a T-shirt contest during the Second General Session. A couple of guidelines for T-shirt day:
 All T-shirts need to be FFA related and appropriate
 Students wearing T-shirts will also need to be in long pants (absolutely no shorts)
 Students will need to change into Official Dress (“OD”) for the Third General Session on Friday Evening
 Students receiving an award and/or who will be on stage at any point for the 2nd session must be in OD
