In a recent podcast episode, members of the Lebanon FFA chapter celebrated the achievements of their fellow member, Lauren Argate, who has been recognized as a national finalist for Agriscience. Lauren's impressive journey has seen her rise to the top 10 in the nation after winning the state competition in June. Her final interview took place recently, and she is set to appear on stage at the National FFA Convention in October, where she will learn her final ranking among the finalists.
The discussion highlighted the importance of community support for the FFA chapter, particularly as they prepare for an upcoming auction event scheduled for December 13th during a Lebanon Tigers basketball game. The auction aims to raise funds to support the chapter's activities and competitions, which can be costly. The chapter's auctioneer, Mr. Reed, encouraged community members to attend and contribute, emphasizing the need for financial backing to continue fostering talent like Lauren's.
The podcast concluded with a teaser for the next episode, which will feature seniors from the Lebanon FFA as they prepare for the 97th National FFA Convention, sharing their unique experiences and the impact of FFA on their career paths. The episode underscored the vital role that FFA plays in shaping the futures of its members and the importance of community engagement in supporting these initiatives.
