helped chaperone the all night event. The most expansive community service project is their work with the BAMC Fisher Houses. Members of the chapter traveled to San Antonio twice this past year to cook a full barbecue meal for the wounded soldiers and their families who are rehabbing at BAMC. This is quite a rewarding project, and is just a little showing of their appreciation to our soldiers for their dedicated service to our nation. Gonzales FFA is included in this project, helping slice brisket and serve plates. The Gonzales Young Farmer’s realizes that agriculture is based on strong family values and fellowship, evident in three yearly events. In December the chapter holds a Christmas party and meal with a White Elephant exchange. In June chapter members and their families met for a fish fry. July was the awards banquet at the Gonzales VFW Post and the chapter was pleased to have Executive Secretary Bob Young on hand to discuss happenings with the State Association. The chapter was very active during the past year and continues to strive to build upon the success that has blessed the chapter in its long and storied history. And I leave you with this today from an unknown author: “Staying positive does not mean that things will turn out okay. Rather it is knowing that you will be okay no matter how things turn out.”
