Pop-a-Top Campaign and Contest
Tunis Youth Service Project for the
"Pop-a-Top" Campaign for Riley's Children
Hospital
The NTSRI Board of Directors recently
approved a service project for the coming year for our Junior Members. The
"Pop-a-Top" campaign asks that all Tunis youth collect pop top
from aluminum cans. Whoever collects the most pop tops (by total weight)
will receive a prize. We will be collecting the youth's collection at the
Keystone Show in September, NAILE in November and the final at Wooster.
Dale Huhnke will keep a tally of what each youth collects. $50 in prizes
will be awarded.

FFA AWARDED TO TUNIS BREEDER
2009 Sheep Production – Entrepreneurship/Placement
Jacci Erwin – Ohio
Joining her family’s 20-year sheep operation has motivated North Union
FFA member Jacci Erwin to play an influential role in the future of the
sheep industry. Managing 54 head of Tunis ewes, Jacci successfully juggles
her FFA activities while fulfilling her duties on her family’s Ohio farm.
She recently exhibited eight head of her flock at the Ohio State Fair,
National Show and the Indiana State Fair. She also marketed two of her ewes
at the National Tunis Show and donated a ewe to help the Junior Tunis
Association. She is supported by her parents, Dan and Cris Erwin, and her
FFA advisors, Tom Jolliff and Nevin Smith.
