Chapter honored their own
March 18 at the Kutztown
Grange Hall. Participating
in the climax of a year’s
endeavors and making the
occasion even more special
was Don Trimmer, Jr.,
National Eastern Region

The national officer
commented on some of the
many opportunities he has
had and discussed a recent
trip he and several other
FFA members took to
Japan.
Trimmer, of Woodsboro,
Md., , reminded his
colleagues to thank the
sponsors of the many awards
presented during the
banquet, especially the
National FFA Foundation,
sponsors of the Foundation
Awards.
Trimmer remarked on
how the FFA is helping to
prepare and develop the
leaders of tomorrow.
“Agriculture is a basic
resource of America,” he
said, “and nobody can do it
like we can.”
“I haven’t heard that we
have reached our limit in
agriculture production,” he
said.
Highlighting the
presentation of awards were
the Star Chapter presen
tations. Receiving the Star
Greenhand Award this year
was Mark Latshaw, 15, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lat
shaw, Alburtis.
Chapter Star Farmer was
awarded to Dean Bruno, 17,
of Kutztown, son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Bruno. Dean was
