FFA Officers Attend Retreat in South Dakota
How many times do you get a chance to crawl around in a cave, visit a bear, rappel off a cliff, experience the mysteries of the cosmos, see Mount Rushmore (from a distance) and eat ninety nine cent pancakes all in one weekend? That’s just what happened on Friday August 19 the Hemingford FFA officers traveled to South Dakota for their annual officer retreat. Officers in attendance were Casey Stangle, Tanner Lembke, Cash Weber, Caleb Milne, Kipp Irene and Wyatt Stricker. The trip was not all fun and games, during the time spent at the retreat they also went over the activities planned for the chapter this year and hammered out a chapter budget. Local FFA Advisor Gordon Karney had this to say about the trip. “The entire trip was a success. The officers got to work together and get to know each other; we were able to take care of essential chapter business and we had a little fun along the way. I’m really looking forward to working with our chapter this year. We have a strong group of leaders with these six officers and a lot of talent in our local membership.”
