This was our last SOPD of the year! It was bitter-sweet as we spent the day with the leaders of Alliance Pipeline and learned more about the over 1.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas that is delivered through the pipeline EVERY DAY.
Have you ever found yourself doodling on a napkin at a restaurant? I have. In fact sometimes I leave pictures for the waitress... OK SO BEYOND THAT FACT!- The idea of bringing natural gas from north eastern British Columbia, Canada all the way down to Chicago, Illinois, USA started with doodling on a napkin! 
The system itself it quite complex, and the science and engineering is incredible. You might need a helmet because this stuff will blow your mind. However, I can't even tell you about it because it was really over my head. What I can tell you is that Alliance Pipeline ensures that their service will continue to support the health, environment and communities impacted by the pipeline.
Alliance Pipeline is a great friend of Minnesota FFA as the help with the sponsorship of hundreds of scholarships for FFA members to attend our state camps in the summer. Tony Straquadine and Ken Goulart - employees at Alliance - have also served on the Minnesota FFA Foundation Boards. I am personally thankful for their support because if it weren't for their scholarship I would have never gone to the camp that has helped shape me into the leader and person I am today.
Not only does Alliance Pipeline support scholarships for FFA members, they support the future of us, members. THANK YOU, cannot even begin to describe my gratitude.
