Last
Saturday was an eventful day for the Bonners
Ferry FFA Chapter. There were a few national and
state officers well known within the FFA who
came to Bonners Ferry to work with our FFA
members on how to become better leaders. Steven
Brockshus, the 2013-2014 National Central Region
Vice-President, and his
 brother Dylan, who was
Iowa's 2013-2014 Northwest Region
Vice-President, came to the high school Friday
night and spent all day Saturday working with
our chapter.
They were insightful and super motivating for
the FFA members of the Bonners Ferry FFA
Chapter. They shared with the Bonners Ferry FFA
their knowledge, leadership skills, and
inspiring lessons through all-day team building
workshops and personal lectures.
The seminar began Friday night as Steven and
Dylan met at the high school to discuss with the
Greenhand (freshman) FFA members how to belong
and participate in FFA. Activities continued
Saturday morning with a chapter officer
breakfast and one-on-one talks on how to improve
the chapter. Afterward the rest of the chapter
arrived to participate in other events. The
momentous day was topped off with a campfire at
the home of the FFA adviser, where chapter
members bonded roasting s'mores.
Three Idaho FFA state officers also drove up to
join the Bonners Ferry group and learn from
Steven and Dylan's experience and training.
Those leaders were Riely Geritz, the Idaho FFA
State President, Dustin Winston, who is the
Idaho FFA State Vice-President, and Abigail
Raasch, the Idaho State FFA Secretary. This
weekend was so special and meaningful for our
FFA chapter because everyone learned something.
I learned that we have plenty of opportunities
to utilize, we need each other to succeed, and
to be the best person you can be to your fullest
ability.
