News : V-S FFA donates to local veterans groups

On Monday November 11, 2013, the Vinton-Shellsburg FFA chapter donated $1,330 to the Vinton and Shellsburg Veterans groups (American Legion posts).

The money that was donated came from our pancake breakfast that was held last month. Our free-will donation pancake breakfast was held on October 19th at the Vinton-Shellsburg High School. President, Caleb Svoboda, and Treasurer, Riley Ries, went on stage at the annual Veterans Day Assembly to present the checks to the two groups.

Our chapter is very grateful to the veterans for what they do for our country and enjoyed this opportunity to give back to them.
