This year’s theme for Officer Retreat is the “Big Boll 500”. Our focus for Officer Retreat will be to develop a race plan and to qualify for the 2013-2014 Big Cup Series. To make the chase will involve many areas within the FFA Racing Organization. Each officer will actually qualify separately. Your qualifying laps will consist of your race plan for the upcoming year in the areas of:

1.  CDE Involvement (ex. Nursery, Parly, and Soils)

2.  Fundraiser Participation (ex. 10 boxes of Sweet Potatoes)

3.  Community Service Activity (ex. Collecting can tabs)

4.  Chapter Improvement Activity (ex. Cleaning office table weekly)

5.  Member Services (ex. Adopting a freshmen)

Be prepared to present your Qualifying Laps to our FFA Race Officials.

We will develop the Munford FFA Race Schedule while we are at the “Big Boll 500”. Even though we will have a great time at officer retreat, this is a working retreat. We will cover officer duties, the POA, Chapter Meetings, and set Chapter goals. Our goal is to develop a Pit Crew for the chapter in order for us to run a good race season this year.

Race Season Begins Monday July 29, 2013 at 8:00 a.m.!!!
