Attends nat’l FFA (CmMmml fra* hp 1) meeting other FFA’crs was one of the main objectives of the meeting." Representing some 17 different states, the FFA’era had the opportunity to share many ideas during the week's conference. Informal “rap” sessions also gave the youths the opportunity to find out how FFA differed throughout the nation. “I learned a lot about the cultures of FFA’era all over the country and also about their programs," Steve noted. The Manheim FFA’er was surprised that in the Mid west, the FFA Clubs were quite spread out over large distances. Along with their studies on leadership, the youths at tended training sessions on social and personal relations. One special event which the youths are treated to each year is a visitation to the office of their State Senators. Steve went to see Congressman Eshleman but in the Congressman’s ab sence, talked to his aide. Steve noted that the Congressman’s aide talked to the group on the bills pertinent to agriculture currently under con sideration.
