Co-Ops Yes!
Mar. 03, 2008
CO-OPS YES! Youth Leadership Conference - April 14-15
The CO-OPS YES! Youth Leadership Conference will be held April 14-15,
2008, at the Hotel Mead, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. High School
students (grades 10, 11, and 12) are eligible to participate in this
exciting and educational program. Wisconsin Federation of
Cooperatives proudly offers this program as an opportunity for young
people to develop an understanding and appreciation of the purpose,
operation and scope of cooperative business. A snack cooperative will
be formed and operate during the conference. Students will also learn
from speakers with powerful messages about leadership and the value of
cooperation. And, CO-OPS YES! will provide students with an
opportunity to develop new friendships and meet youth leaders from
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The cost of the conference is only $160 per person. The registration
fee covers food, lodging, speaker fees, conference t-shirt, and
educational materials.
WFC members have received information about the conference, and we
anticipate they will be asking for help in selecting students to
attend. If you have students who want to attend the conference, but
no cooperative has contacted you about sponsoring a student, please
feel free to contact the cooperatives in your area.
A conference program and registration forms for students and
chaperones (make additional copies as needed), was e-mailed to all
teachers. Teachers are welcome and encouraged to participate in the
program also. An area cooperative would probably welcome the
opportunity to sponsor you.
Complete registration forms with payment and signed parental
permission must be received at the Wisconsin Federation of
Cooperatives office no later than March 21, 2008. If a
registered student is unable to attend, you may send a substitute.
Please let us know as soon as possible if this occurs.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact David
Erickson at (608) 258-4405. This is another great conference for FFA
members and we thank the Wisconsin Federation of Cooperatives for
providing this opportunity.

Hello Section 9! I want to say how proud I am of our accomplishments during National FFA Week! Members across the section took the time to plan awesome events and activities. Everything from kissing critters to turkey bowling, and FFA trivia to assemblies, FFA was displayed in an positive way.

See ya.

Our Days in Alabama
Jan. 28, 2008
Hello everyone! Hopefully the year is going great! The team and I just returned from our service trip to Alabama. We spent the week working with the Federation of Souther n Cooperatives. The federation is an organization that helps low income farmers make the most of what they have. They help the farmer capitalize on every little bit of land and oppurtunity that is presented to them.
We helped the Federation to build fences around a goat pen, and also a plasticulture area, so that they could better research these means for farmers.
It was a great trip full of hard work, team bonding, and some experiences that I will not forget for a lifetime. If you have any questions please contact me. Thanks!
Chapter Visits
Dec. 05, 2007
I would like to take a moment to say thank you to all of the chapters in Section 9. Chapter visits have been an absolutely phenomonal experience for me. I hope that you too have learned something new or at least had an enjoyable time. I have learned many things about chapter activities, officers, and other FFA related activities, and it has been an insightful journey. I have a few more to go, and I am looking forward to each and everyone. See Ya
