The Nashville FFA Chapter will celebrate National FFA Week beginning Tuesday and earlier this week Nashville Mayor Raymond Kolweier signed a Proclamation.  “Ignite” is this year’s theme and it celebrates more than 80 years of FFA traditions while eagerly anticipating the organization’s future.  The focus of National FFA Week is to tell America about the great opportunities available for all youth.  From its beginnings in 1928 as the Future Farmers of America, the National FFA Organization today reaches out to all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.  FFA is committed to developing character and leadership skills and preparing members for a lifetime of civic leadership and career success.  As a part of National FFA Week, Nashville FFA members are planning some special events.  Join us Sunday morning at 8 o’clock for the Magazine on the V as I will chat with a couple of FFA members about FFA and what events will be going on throughout next week.
