-Congratulations to all programs, teachers and students for a successful 2015 Environmental Natural Resources Event. -Our event would not have happened without assistance from key individuals that made our contest worthy of your students. A special thank you to the team of teachers who assisted in the facilitating, supervising, and grading over 185 students. Thank You Irwin County High School for the use of facilities. -Please see attachment with names and addresses listed, and personally thank these individuals so we may call on them again in the future. -Attached are a color and black and white templates that can be printed off on card stock, cut 1/2 and used as a Thank You Card (I would expect to see copies of these cards in your FFA Chapter Secretary's Book March 10, 2016). -Also attached is a Press Release to be used to advertise your program in your community and to other local stakeholders. While the event is fresh on your mind, please provide comment on how we as a Region can improve the ENR Event for our students and our local programs.
