Dear Canyon FFA Alumni & Supporters, Parents, & Students,

We will meet to discuss the Canyon FFA Alumni Golf Tournament on Monday, June 8th at 7:30 PM at the CHS Ag Building. Please join us as this is one of the three very important fundraisers we have for the year. Even if you cannot join us for the tournament on June 20th, you can help in many different ways.

We will meet at the CHS Ag Building at 7:30 PM on Monday, June 8th. This will give our state qualifiers a chance to be recognized at the board meeting before coming to our meeting.

Cannot wait to see everyone and keep raising funds for these remarkable students!

The Ag Teachers!
