The next activity that our chapter will be involved in is the February Chapter Meeting on Tuesday, January 13. The previously elected Greenhand Officers will be running this meeting and showing off their superb leadership skills. Along with this, on February 14, selected members from the Fallbrook FFA will be traveling to Tulare for the World Ag Expo. This is an opportunity for members to meet individuals who have agricultural careers from all over the world!
