It is time for another FFA Greenhouse update! We are excited to announce that we are 84% of the way to our goal for the FFA Greenhouse, thanks to the generous contributions of so many of you! A big thank you goes out to Midwest Bank for their donation of $2,500 just this morning!
In the Deshler Alumni mailing, we included a donation sheet for alumni to give to the greenhouse or to continue to support our beef in the schools program, or both! Many of you stepped up and helped out, and we can't thank you enough! We are currently at $62,905.70 of our $75,000 goal of funds to be raised (with the other $75,000 coming from the school), and have applied for numerous grants and held multiple fundraisers to get this far.
We want to take the time to thank the following individuals who sent in alumni donations in the last month:
- Allen & Pam Werner
- Lyle & Bevery Pitts
- Dave & Judy Fintel
- Joyce & Dennis Schmidt
- Kenneth Schmidt
- Dorthea Okelly
- Russell & Dana Zook
- Kevin & Jen Nolan
- Jeanette Fintel
- Brenda Bryant
- David Holle
Please, if you know of other grants or larger donations that we can pursue, we are happy to look into those as well, as there are only so many meal deals and fundraisers that the students can take on without hitting up the same people over and over!
If you would like to donate tax-free, please make your checks payable to the FFA Alumni group, who has been helping our FFA chapter with our fundraising efforts towards the greenhouse, and mail them to the school. If a tax-free donation is not needed, please make your checks out to Deshler FFA. Regardless of who the check is made out to, we ask you to mail them to the school and we will get them deposited into the correct account for the chapter:
Deshler Public Schools
Attn: Dana Epley
1402 Third Street
Deshler, NE 68340
Thank you again for your support of making this dream come true for not only our FFA chapter, but the community of Deshler and beyond!
