FLASH BACK
Apr. 29, 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen it is time to “FLASH BACK” to the past during this year’s State FFA Convention Dance. Any Decade works; the peace of the 70’s, the rock and hair of the 80’s, the flappers of the roaring 20’s or even the dusty wigs of colonial times. The dance is held on the Wednesday night of convention, June 11th to be exact. Dress up for the dance in an appropriate costume from the past and enjoy the theme “FLASH BACK”. You may even want to get your advisor to dress like they did when they were in high school!

Coops YES!
Apr. 16, 2008
Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen you missed out on a lot if you weren’t in Wisconsin Rapids for the Coops YES! Conference. There was an amazing hypnotist who had Alex Patten believing he was Kenny Chesney (I have pictures if you want a good laugh). The breakout sessions with Craig Hillier and Preston Green were life changing. And, of course, the amount of information on just how cooperatives work was astounding! Mark you calendars for next year’s conference because I am positive that the newly elected youth core team will make it even better!

Laconia rocked the house! When we look to chapters in the FFA it is always awesome to have such a supportive Alumni that appreciates higher education. Good luck to all!
Luxemberg Casco
Mar. 25, 2008
LC was an awesome time! I would like to thank them for the delicious steak dinner. Congratulations to the new officer team and the new president.
It is still astounding how successful this chapter has been this year, Wisconsin needs more Judging teams that show the true spirit and knowledge that is in our state and Luxemberg Casco has shown that this year.

Back from 'Bama
Jan. 25, 2008
We had an excellent trip to and from the state of Alabama on our service trip. It is truly amazing to see how different and diverse the agricultural industry is in another state. The State officer team was able to lend their hands to the Federation of Southern Cooperatives to build some fence on the Federation/LAF Rural Training & Research Center in Epes Alabama. The area we were in is considered the “Black Belt”, the poorest region in Alabama. This facility educates the surrounding communities about ways to increase their income by producing agricultural products: namely goats and plants from plasticulture. I emplore every one to take advantage of every opportunity you have to help some one else.
HALF TIME!
Jan. 09, 2008
O man that was awesome. I sure hope everybody at the Half Time Conference in Stevens Point had as good a time as I did. Hey don't forget to use that TV Guide your chapters got. There is a lot of good information and suggestions to make the rest of this year go super sweet! Any questions you can always just send any of the state officers an e-mail.
