Snap the picture. Develop the film. Print the photo. Interview the student-athlete. Draft the story. Submit the copy. And, meet the deadline. There's a lot of satisfaction in the process.

If there are any students or parents who are interested in supporting the Friends of Farmingdale Athletics (FFA) as "team liaisons" for any of the Daler Varsity, Junior Varsity or Middle School teams, please contact us at PO Box 443, Farmingdale, NY 11735 or via e-mail at GoDalersFFA@optonline.net. Learn how you can participate and make a difference.

The FFA is interested in partnering with any of the FHS Varsity teams to sponsor fundraisers to benefit the team, coordinate community service projects and promote sports journalism in both print and photography. We are looking for your help to cover the Winter and Spring Sports teams. If interested, please attend the next General Meeting to be held at the Community Center at Allen Park on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2004 at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

In addition, we are planning to initiate an "FFA Daler Alumni: connection. We are searching for former FHS student-athletes who have graduated and would be interested in coordinating information and activities involving alumni. Details will be available at the Jan. 8 meeting and we encourage all Daler Alumni: to attend. "Once a Daler - Always a Daler." Share your post high school experiences with us, either in sports participation, business or the local community. It will provide a great opportunity to give something back. Please pass the word to five of your alumni friends and ask them to pass it on to five more friends. We hope to see you at the January meeting - to kick off FFA Alumni Month. Go Dalers!
