Ohio Commodity Food Booth Work Day at the Ohio State Fair
At the Ohio State Fair, the Amanda-Clearcreek FFA members volunteer their time at various food booths run by the different agricultural commodity organizations found in Ohio. We have groups of our members that go and work a shift by making and selling food. Members then also have time on their own to experience the fair. This activity encourages our members to get involved in volunteering and helping other organizations within the agricultural community. Most years, the chapter works with the Ohio Cattleman's Association and the Ohio Poultry Association. This year we will be working both on July 29th, which is also the first day of the Ohio State Fair. Be at the school by 9 A.M. return by 9 P.M. If enough members are available we will be working the Ohio Cattlemen Association food booth at the Ohio State fair. 30 Students max, work one shift, enjoy the fair the second half, spending money needed. Summer hours = 7 hours if all day, 5 hours if half day.

Adopt-A-Highway
The Amanda Clearcreek FFA has adopted a section of State Route 159 to clean-up as part of ODOT's Adopt-a-Highway program. The chapters section runs from just south of Tommy Wayne's Pizza to the south end of Oakland, comprising three total miles. The chapter holds an Adopt-a-Highway clean-up after school about two times a year and once during the summer months. During these clean-ups, members of the chapter walk along the highway and pick-up trash. After this is done, the ODOT workers come by pick-up the bags of trash. This makes for a cleaner and healthier environment. This is one of the many community service projects provided by the Amanda-Clearcreek FFA. Adopt-A-Highway was held on May 20th and will again be held in the summer on August 6th meet at the Ag Shop at 10 A.M. Summer hours = 3 Hours.

Abiti Paper Recycling Program
This program is a simple and free service for communities to use for paper recycling. Distinctive green and yellow paper retriever bins are provided to encourage the community to bring their paper and put it into the drop off location, which is behind the Ag Shop, right down from where the baseball fields are located. The company accepts catalogs, magazines, newspapers, junk mail, office paper, fax paper, school paper, notebooks and folders. The Amanda-Clearcreek FFA Chapter receives that money earned from our two recycling bins and that money goes into an Memorial Award account. This money is ONLY used for the Washington Leadership Conference trip. For the last few years our FFA Chapter has recycled paper for this company. This is a benefit for our school and also our FFA Chapter. So feel free to recycle what you need to into these bins at anytime (its open in the summer too).
