(singing, story time, puppets and a craft) for par-

ents and kids. (I’m asking that any large groups

like day cares or churches call ahead to schedule.)

We will cap off the summer on August 1, 5-7 pm

FFA Officers to Attend State Convention This Sum-

mer—This year, once again, Meagan Coberley will be

an FFA Foundation Ambassador. She will serve as a

senior FFA Ambassador and a team mentor. Foundation

Ambassadors serve as “face-to-face” hosts for special

guests, sponsors, and dignitaries on behalf of the Texas

FFA during the largest youth-led convention in Texas.

Candidates apply through a competitive application

process, with emphasis on FFA involvement, individual

accomplishments, and community service. Ambassadors

receive extensive training to prepare them for their week

of service. Each student Ambassador is assigned to a

“VIP,” serving as their respective agricultural science/

FFA host for the week. In addition, the Ambassadors

have a unique opportunity of experiencing firsthand the

behind-the-scene complexities of convention week.

As a mentor, it is her job to help the junior ambassadors.

Last year Meagan was host to McCoy’s Building Supply

and Luminant Power. “Last year I helped to set up spon-

sor booths on the show floor. I took my sponsors backstage so that they could be announced to the audience on the convention floor.

Whatever the sponsors needed done or whatever they had questions about, we took care of their needs,” says Meagan. She will find

out who her VIP will be when she arrives at convention this year.

Others attending the state convention will be next year’s officers who, along with Meagan, are Erin Zeringue, Shelby Williams,

Cody Vance, Landon Dorner, and Tyler Raine. Tyler will also be participating in the FFA Rodeo while there. He will be doing calf

roping and team roping. Tyler will do team roping with Cole Mitchell from Como-Pickton FFA. If Tyler wins an event, he will re-

ceive a scholarship. Students will be attending general sessions where they will play a part in selecting state officers and national

officer candidates. They will hear keynote speakers and attend a concert and FFA Fun Night where they will vote for talent teams.

They will also attend the rodeo. Pictured above l-r Meagan Coberley, Cody Vance, Landon Dorner, Tyler Raine, Shelby Williams. (Erin Zeringue not available for photo.)
