Sandy FFA Alumni, Growing our future, by supporting our youth today.
Dear Guests,
I would like to personally thank each of you for coming out and
showing your support for our FFA students at Sandy High
School.
The mission of the Sandy FFA Alumni is to support our local
FFA program and students. FFA is a program, although focused
on agriculture, that helps build students into future leaders. Not
only as leaders in FFA but in their schools and in our communities. We want students that are not only active in FFA but are also
proficient in academics and who give back to their communities.
Your being here tonight helps us in providing that support.
As a former FFA member myself and father to a past member and
two current members, I can say that FFA is unlike any other organization out there. I have experienced and witnessed firsthand
what this organization can do for our youth. It gives them the
confidence and skills to excel in anything they put their mind to.
Over the last three years the Sandy FFA Alumni has awarded
over $30,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors to help them
pursue their dreams. This year we will be awarding over $10,000
to graduating seniors of the class of 2014. All of tonight’s net
proceeds will go to support our local scholarships.
I am confident that we have a fun evening planned for all of you.
I hope everyone enjoys themselves and has a good time. If you
have any questions or needs please ask one of the Alumni members wearing the blue shirts for help.
Tom Rutledge, President
Sandy FFA Alumni Association
We grow leaders!

Local scholarship supporters
This is you! All net proceeds tonight go to support scholarships for Sandy FFA students. The Alumni has two different scholarships it funds. The Jon Virtue Memorial Scholarship is based on need and desire to continue in school. The
Sandy FFA Alumni Association Scholarship is based the
students GPA, the members participation in both the FFA
chapter and with the alumni. The student must also have
completed their FFA state degree application.
Local sponsors who have committed to the program for
five years receive recognition on our website

Statewide agvocating scholarship
Some of our corporate sponsors desired a larger pool of students for their support dollars. The alumni created a scholarship that is offered to all Oregon FFA seniors based on
need and plans to advocate for agriculture. In administering this scholarship the alumni has been able to see vo-ag
program students from across the state and it has turned
into a great program resource for new ideas. This scholarship is currently supported by four sponsors who have
committed to the program for five years! -Thank you.
Thank You to our corporate sponsors!

Sandy FFA Alumni and Supporters
In FFA I have learned the meaning of service; I have experienced the struggles that
come with leadership. I have been challenged by the labor of hard work, gained
knowledge, communication, and cooperation. The FFA has blessed me with the opportunity to travel all over the state of Oregon as well as to our nations beautiful capital, Washington D.C.. These experiences are
more than simple memories, they are the
moments of my life that have built me into
the person I am today. I have been told by
people that have simply seen me wearing my FFA jacket that “your
future is as bright as the yellow emblem on your back”.
The competitions I have participated in and the training that I have
received from the FFA have without a doubt prepared me for many
different real world experiences that I am sure to face.
To most people the letters FFA mean agriculture, hard work, and
pride. To me they mean that and so much more, they mean I have the
light of my bright future to share for the rest of my life thanks to the
FFA and the FFA Alumni.
As I travel around Oregon, the United States and prepare to travel to
South Africa in January representing the Oregon FFA Association as
their State Vice President I look back and am so grateful that Sandy
has such an active Alumni. The alumni has been there every step of
the way. They have provided support in so many ways to me and other students and to our adviser Mrs. Smith. There are so many things
that myself and other members would not have had the opportunity to
experience if it had not been for the Alumni being there to help. I
want to thank each of you for coming out and supporting the FFA and
the FFA Alumni. I also want to encourage you to
continue to
support and possibly join the FFA Alumni. Even if you never
wore the “blue jacket” you can still be a member of this
amazing organization.
Sincerely,
Sarah K. Rutledge
Vice President
Oregon FFA Association
