Coberley Named

FFA Ambassador to

State Convention

Meagan Coberley has been chosen as one of the

39-member team charged with escorting the

sponsors, dignitaries and special guests during

FFA State Convention Week in Corpus Christi,

Texas, during July. The young men and women

who fuel this program are comprised of appli-

cants from all over the state of Texas. The Am-

bassadors are the official liaison with sponsors,

special guests, and dignitaries on behalf of the

Texas FFA.

Meagan says she will serve as a “face to face”

host during the largest youth-led convention in

Texas. The competitive application process that

led to Meagan’s being chosen emphasized FFA

involvement, individual accomplishments, and

community service. She will be assigned to a

“VIP” serving as their agricultural science/FFA

host for the week. Plus, she will have the unique

opportunity of experiencing firsthand the behind

-the-scenes complexities of convention week.

Meagan says that she was told that a record

number of people applied this year by complet-

ing the application, writing an essay, and pro-

viding references. “I’m excited about getting to

be an ambassador. I’m looking forward to it,” comments Meagan. Meagan said her essay focused on the difficulties faced in the

agricultural business in this economy and how FFA gets into your blood because it’s an organization in which everyone’s main focus

is agriculture, working on the land and being with a group of people who all have the same values. She sees the FFA as a solid foun-

dation for those who aren’t always involved in other school activities. She knows also that many scholarships are available and feels

this will be an opportunity for her to network and build her re-

sume.

Executive director of the FFA Foundation, Aaron Alejandro,

says, “The generous support of the sponsors provides the fuel to

help Texas FFA provide opportunities for our members, teachers

and affiliate organizations. The Ambassadors help put a face to

the Texas FFA program for many of our sponsors.”

Mr. Rank, Meagan’s FFA chapter advisor, says that it is quite an

honor for Meagan to be named to be an ambassador by the FFA

foundation.

FFA Auction Brings Good Profit

Mr. Rank, chapter FFA advisor, says that the auction that was

held last Saturday grossed over $5,000, which “left us with a

good profit.” He said that the round wooden table with benches

brought the biggest bids.

Mr. Rank said that there are still plants for sale—mostly hanging

baskets. They are $5 each, but there are volume discounts for

buying 2 or more.

The FFA Banquet is to be scheduled during the flex time. Mr.

Rank will be contacting members with information.
