FFA Section 14 shines at convention

[JUNE 23, 2003]  Thousands of blue corduroy jackets flooded downtown Springfield on June 11 for the kickoff of the 75th annual state FFA convention. Sessions were at the Prairie Capital Convention Center.

The convention agenda was filled with luncheons, main sessions, a dance and elections.

Members of the FFA, including students from Section 14, were recognized for their outstanding achievements throughout the year. Bruce Frank and Kayleigh Paulsmyer received awards for winning state in their SAE projects. Mathew Dediert was named Star in Agribusiness, and Wade Strempstfer was named Star Farmer. Ten Section 14 FFA members received their state FFA degree. Cassandra Fritzsche and Kyle Attebery, both of Athens, were honored among the top five individuals in the Growmark essay contest. Also, many Section 14 members played in the band and chorus.

On the newly elected 2003-3004 Illinois FFA officer team are Ryan Robinson, Section 19, president; Kenan Peters, Section 8, vice president; Rachel Baum, Section 16, reporter; Bruce Frank, Section 14, secretary; and Brian Dallam, Section 2, treasurer.
