2007-2008 Nevada State FFA Officers' Farewell
Messages
Hello Nevada FFA!
This year has flown by! I can't believe I'm already
writing this when it really feels like I was just
reading the 2006-2007 Nevada FFA State Officer Farewell
letters! I have watched many of you grow and succeed
this year while I was serving you as your 2007-2008
Nevada FFA State President. I have met so many great
people being a state officer and have grown closer
to the ones I already knew.
I thank each and everyone of you for being some
of the greatest people I know. I am sure that you
will go far in your life and will succeed as long
as you take all the lessons that you learned in
the FFA. I encourage each of you, to recruit your
friends so that they can too have all the amazing
experiences in this great organization. This past
year has been a year full of ups and downs, busy
times and not so busy times, and a year full of
growth and learning. But in the end, I have grown
and met so many young talented, motivated people.
I want you to know that I will never forgot any
of you and the times that I have had with you.
To end this letter I have a quote by an unknown
author, "How lucky am I to have something that
makes saying good bye so hard." Thank you Nevada
FFA for a year full of growth and experiences that
I will never forget. Be well, do good work, and
keep in touch.

Nevada FFA Members,
Each and every one of you has an amazing potential
to achieve anything! I know this because you are
all members of the FFA. A lot of you, especially
freshmen, probably don't realize what the FFA can
do for you and I don't think you really realize
how far you've come until it's almost over; I know
I didn't. As I look back on the past five years
of FFA, I know I wouldn't be where I am today if
it hadn't been for this organization. So as a few
words of advice--take advantage of this organization,
the advisors, and the connections and resources
you have at your fingertips. No matter what you're
interested in, the FFA can help get you there.
I have had so much fun working with all of you
this year from COLT in the west to chapter visits
in the southern zone to zone competitions in the
north. I want to thank all of you for making this
an incredible year, even with a few setbacks (Tahoe
fire cancelling SLC:)). I wish you all the best
of luck in all of your endeavors and remember 'if
you don't risk anything, you risk everything'.
Sincerely,
Danielle Longley
2007-2008 Nevada State Vice President
Nevada FFA – Thank you for an amazing year.
I know it didn’t go exactly as we had planned,
but you all taught me so much more than I ever
imagined. I hope you all keep your FFA excitement
and keep reaching for your goals. You were what
made this year one of the best in my life. Keep
striving for your very best and accomplish all
of your goals. Best of luck wherever life takes
you!

2007-2008 State Secretary
This year has flown by! It was filled with struggles,
good times, and many learning experiences. I wouldn’t
trade it for the world. FFA has given me the opportunity
to soar and without FFA I would not be the person
I am today. I feel blessed with the opportunity
to give back to the FFA for what it has given
me with in my year of service, but in comparison
I feel it doesn’t match up. I want to thank
all of my advisors, teammates and friends I have
had throughout my five years in this great organization.
These people have been there for me, taught me
loads, and gave me some of my fondest memories.
I could only hope that every FFA member gets what
I have gotten out of this organization, and that
they succeed at all of their wildest goals and
dreams!
Jasmyn Jones
2007-2008 State Treasurer
Hello one and all! Wow! I can’t believe
that I’m already writing this thing! This
year has flown by. I have learned so much through
the year, not only about those around me, but
also about myself. From being a freshmen Greenhand
member to a Nevada FFA State Officer, I have enjoyed
every single time in the Blue and Gold Jacket.
And that is due to the wonderful people living
in this great state. You. Every time I travel
away from this state, when returning I always
get the feeling of excitement to be back in the
presence of such amazing people. I say that it
is a privilege to know such people. I want to
thank the members of this great organization for
making Nevada such a great place to live. If there
were any advice I could leave you with it would
be this: never take your struggles as discouragement.
Rather use them to help you get to your personal
success. So, I ended my beginning of the year
introductions with a quote and now I am ending
my year with the same. “Failure is not failure.
Failure is preparation for success.”
Love always,

Nevada FFA, thank you for the wonderful memories
this year. I have had an amazing year serving
you as a state officer. I hope you continue to
find success within the FFA.
