Why make Committees?

It lets everyone from the chapter to get involved

It divides up the work so that every aspect receives 100%

Make committees for decorations, food, invitations, set up, clean up, and greeting

Pick A Theme

• This will allow your banquet to have a focus and will allow planning for decorations to be easier – Up, Up, and away with FFA– Under construction
