Unlimited CA F N R AG 2014 BANQUET & FUNDRAISING AUCTIONS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15 Holiday Inn Select – Expo Center, Columbia, Mo. Welcome Welcome to the celebration of the Dynasty we know as Mizzou!!! This marks the 19th year we have celebrated the accomplishments of our students and alumni that have made this University and CAFNR so great over so many years. As you know, 2014 marks the 175th anniversary of the University of Missouri, founded in 1839. Subsequently, the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862, signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln, enabled the University to become a land-grant college to promote all the best in food and fiber production. That in itself would be enough to qualify for the Dynasty acknowledgement. But this year, we also celebrate 100 years of the Cooperative Extension Service, connected to land-grant universities, to inform people about current developments in agriculture, home economics, public policy, and other related subjects. These are landmark anniversaries we celebrate tonight. On behalf of the Mizzou Ag Alumni Association, we hope that as you celebrate tonight, you will remember why we are here…to continue the tradition – The Dynasty! Through your generosity, we can help launch careers of the next generation who will make this Dynasty last for another 175 years. We hope you find a few items that make you want to splurge. As you know, funds raised here help support student scholarships, leadership development activities, and educational enhancements within the CAFNR. Many of you here have experienced the power of CAFNR Ag Unlimited since you have been recipients of this event’s proceeds. Because of you and fellow friends and alumni, more than $600,000 has been raised to benefit CAFNR students. These funds have aided our College’s recruitment efforts, enhanced its educational facilities, and supported opportunities for students to gain real-world experiences. We sincerely appreciate your participation in this event and your continued dedication to the College. With your support, tonight and throughout the year, we will continue to enhance educational opportunities for students. This event takes an enormous number of people working together to make it a success. We owe a huge thank you to sponsors, contributors, alumni, students and friends. Thanks again for being part of CAFNR Ag Unlimited 2014. Enjoy yourself and be sure to bring a couple of friends with you next year.
