 Sincerity
is written all across Maggie Nelson's face as she presents the
FFA Creed to the Sertoma audience. Maggie was part of the
program that included: Magnus Nelson, Helena Sewell, Phil Olsen,
Aimee Parker, Scott Malloy, Julie Sather, Amanda Kohl, Carla
Koering, Emily Segler, and Amanda Moe. This group presented an
excellent example of how to conduct a meeting . The group won
the Regional competition in Parliamentary Procedure and is
headed to the state convention in May as is Maggie. FFA is an
outstanding organization for young people that is near and dear
to me. In my years as English instructor at Motley High School,
I coached many youngsters in preparation for the Creed Speaking
Contest and know how hard these students work to achieve these
honors. Having had the privilege of attending a national
convention, I can only say that the values of America do not
rest lightly on the members of FFA who wear their blue jackets
proudly. The demonstration was very similar to the contest where
the group must conduct a regular meeting including all the
introductions of officers. They are then to proceed to
deliberate on a motion and are given 6 tasks that must be
accomplished while dealing withthat motion. At Sertoma these
included: making a main motion, amending a main motion, amending
an amendment, referring to committee, rising to a point of order
and showing a division of the house. Many civic and public
groups could learn valuable lessons from watching these
outstanding young people work. Special compliments to President
Carla Koering who was very poised and in control of the mock
meeting. |

Find a Sawbuck Corner:
The FAS Program was designed to encourage people to read the newsletter. Even those who attend the meeting can benefit from reviewing the announcements etc. If you find the letters FAS followed by your name, you must call the number provided and just leave a message that you called and attend the next meeting to collect your money. Simple--however 90% of the people never respond. |
