Thanks for FFA efforts

To the editor:

This year's annual Jay County FFA banquet was a big success. Thanks to all the area businesses and Jay County residents who donated in anyway to our student auction and banquet. Thanks to Pete Shawver and crew who auctioneered for the student auction.

Thanks to the Purdue alumni and advisory board who prepared our delicious pork chops and the Jay School Corporation cooks who prepared the delicious meal.

Congratulations to Tom Johnson for being named this year's FFA Honorary Member, Gina Muhlenkamp, Michelle Dirksen, Sarah Westgerdes, and Ester Stephen for receiving the FFA renewable scholarship, and Michael Ault for receiving the Jim Wasson/Redkey Vet Records scholarship. Many awards were given out this year.

We are very proud of all our students and what they have accomplished. We hope that all who attended enjoyed the evening as we honored and acknowledged our young and old in the area of agriculture.

Because of the generosity of our community, the Jay County FFA has been able to grant scholarships to numerous FFA members over the years. In addition we have been able to involve even more students in various judging teams and area competitions.

We are extremely proud of the achievements and efforts of our FFA members. Again many thanks to ALL who have made this year's banquet a big success. Your support is truly appreciated.

Melissa Muhlenkamp and Brittany Bridges, advisors, Jay County FFA
