Spangler Motor Sales and the Oak Harbor FFA have announced the launching of the 2006 Hometown Scholarship Program to generate scholarship funds for high school students locally, across the state and throughout America.

In its fourth year the Hometown Scholarship Program is part of Spangler Motor Sales continuing commitment to FFA.

From Aug. 22 to Nov. 3, Oak Harbor FFA members will attend community events to request $5 suggested donations in support of the Hometown Scholarship Program. Of that $5 donation, 100 percent of the proceeds goes to FFA, both locally and on the state level.
Individuals who donate to the program may register to win a 2007 truck and automatically receive a voucher to redeem for a complimentary T-shirt at Spangler Motor Sales, 121 S. Locust St., Oak Harbor.

Now in its fourth year, the Hometown Scholarship Program has raised more than $2.8 million for participating FFA chapters. The goal is to raise more than $2 nationally this year.

FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Founded in 1928, the FFA began as an organization of young people who wanted to develop their farming and leadership skills.

Today, FFA serves more than 476,000 students who enroll in local agricultural education programs in the nation’s secondary schools. These students are served by more than 11,000 agricultural schools.
