6 News from WIU Collegiate FFA Chapter Spring has sprung and things have picked up for the WIU Collegiate FFA chapter. With the arrival of the spring semester at WIU, came more activities for the members of CFFA to emerge themselves in. In continuing their service to the Section XI FFA, CFFA hosted the Section Public Speaking contest on February 23 rd. The event went smoothly and the turn out was great. The contest couldn t have been successful without all the help provided by the Agriculture Department faculty and other members of the agriculture communities displayed through their willingness to help judge the event. The individuals receiving first and second place in their respected areas went on to compete in the District contest also hosted by WIU CFFA chapter on April 5 th. The District contest was also a success. The members of the Collegiate FFA chapters do a lot of preparation for the Public Speaking contest. The members are responsible for contacting nine judges, preparing programs, reserving rooms, and registering each individual for the contest. When the contest begins, the very busy members set aside their class work and jobs aside to escort students to their appropriate rooms, and tally judging cards. However, the members of CFFA sacrifice their time to give back to the organization that provided them with so much during their years in high school. As the flowers began to bloom, CFFA members were setting up and preparing for the Invitational Agriculture Mechanics contest that took place on April 12 th. With the help of the Ag Mech Club, members set up stations for each area of the contest including, electricity, ag power, carpentry, welding, and surveying. Teams from all over the state were invited to attend the event. Also, Section XI held their Ag Mechanics contest in conjunction with the invitational. East Richmond went home with the title of the First Place Team Overall. CFFA members were responsible for the scoring of the test, registration, and provided plaques and ribbons for the teams and individuals excelling in their respective fields. As the spring semester comes to an end the CFFA has a lot on their plate. On April 21 st they will be hosting an Invitational Horticulture Contest in conjunction with the WIU Horticulture Club. Also, on May 3 rd the CFFA chapter will be hosting the Agriculture Olympics. The Ag Olympics is a fun and competitive way for all of WIU s agriculture organizations to get together. The entire department is looking forward to the event, and expectations are high. As a new group of officers take their roles in the WIU Collegiate FFA chapter, a new set of challenges lay ahead of them, and only time will tell what the fall semester has in store for the WIU CFFA.

7 CONGRATULATIONS!!! WE DID IT. On behalf of the IAVAT Board, I would like to send special congratulations to the Building Fund Committee members for their help in retiring the mortgage for the FFA Center. Don Bumphrey s committee is to be commended for all of their efforts to help see that the Center was paid off in just six years. $1.2 million dollars ago, this seemed to be a very daunting, and in some eyes, an impossible task. Due to the efforts of businesses, individuals, FFA chapters across the state and the FFA Foundation, who forgave the rest of the start-up loan, we can proudly say that the building is debt free. Each chapter should have received a letter from the committee in the past couple of weeks about the building. In the letter, you were notified as to where your chapter stood in relation to the donor board and how much it would take to move to the next level. We will continue to take contributions for the FFA Center in the future if your chapter would like to continue to move to the next level. All money received will be used to finance a building maintenance fund for future repairs and improvements. Anyone wishing to still purchase a brick for the patio of the Center must do so by no later than the end of June. After that date, bricks will no longer be sold. Again, congratulations and thank you to everyone who helped with and made donations to the Capital Campaign Project over the last six years. The Illinois FFA Center is a tremendous asset for all of the entities that uses it. Larry D.
