|  The chapter has completed its first stages of organization by 
			electing officers for the first year. Those officers are Marc Short, 
			president; Scott Goodman, vice president; Tracey Rawlings, 
			secretary; and Dave Opperman, treasurer. The chapter will meet on 
			Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the LCHS ag room to discuss establishing 
			membership dues and also upcoming events for this year that the 
			chapter can be involved in. The group has already committed to assist the FFA students with 
			this year's pancake and sausage breakfast in February.
