State Leader Updates
New Fees To Be Implemented for FFA New Horizons K-type Subscriptions
Beginning Sept. 1, 2009, the cost of a K-type/gift subscription to FFA New Horizons will increase from $7 to $12. The fee hike is due to the magazine's increasing production and overhead costs. For the past several years, the $7 fee failed to cover the production costs of these subscriptions. The increase more accurately reflects the true production cost of each subscription. The decision to raise this fee was approved by FFA management last August. If you have questions, contact Julie Woodard, 317-802-4310 or jwoodard@ffa.org.
