Last year when I attended ROAR, I thought how great it would be to step in the state officers' shoes and put such a wonderful conference on. Now, my teammates and I have done so. This year's ROAR was amazing, the state officers and regional officers have come together and we are so much closer than before. After this weekend, I have a feeling some amazing things are going to be happening in Kentucky.
Congratulations to the Lincoln Trail Regional Officers, who won Regional Volleyball, and we are sorry to say that they were defeated by the State Officers.
James "Buddy" Sledd, National Officer Candidate was our key note speaker and he done a wonderful job, and we would like to wish him the best of luck in October as he runs for National Office.
Guys, don't forget the goals that we have set for this year.
1. Shatter the all time membership record of 15,700 members, by attaining 10 more members than your chapter had last year.
2. Improve SAEP
3. 2011 in 2011; Community Service Initiative
4. Promote Ag Literacy
Embrace the Challenge Kentucky FFA and let's make a difference!!

Livin' On A Prayer
Hey Guys,
Today I went to Christian County High School FFA's Freshman Fun Night.. which is perfectly applicable to me since I'm a freshie once again. I got to meet their new Ag teacher, Mr. Alexander, who took Mr. Hawkins place. He's quite the singer, let me tell you.. and he can dance. ;) I also talked to Mrs. Clark and set up a chapter visit.They had a pretty good set up going on. There was Twister, Guitar Hero, and Wii Dancing (which I am NOT good at). We had a lot of fun. There was a massive group singing of "Livin' On A Prayer" by none other than Jon Bon Jovi. I believe this chapter, with the things already planned, is living on more than just a prayer; they have their stuff together. I'm looking forward to seeing CCHS FFA stand out this year!

New Team, New Plan
On Monday, August 30th Kentucky FFA's National Officer Candidate, James "Buddy" Sledd and I took a trip to Fulton County's FFA Chapter where Mr. Black was putting on a training day for the officers and committee chairman. Buddy and I were in charge of two workshops for the members, both of which went over great. In our workshops we stressed the idea of teamwork and communication since all 6 officers are new and 9 of the 12 committee chairmen are new.
We had a great time with a TON of laughs, but let me tell you KY FFA, Fulton County has a bright future ahead of them! Mr. Black already has them on the right track and they are pumped about this year. there is not one member out of the whole group that was not outgoing. That will take them a long way. I'm looking forward to what they bring to the table this upcoming year with their new and strong leadership.
EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE!!!
