Franklin County FFA Attended Convention
By Kayla Galyen and Heather Stenger
Indiana FFA State Convention is an amazing function to be a part of . The number of blue corduroy jackets at the sessions or just walking around the streets of Purdue University is a phenomenal sight to see . We had members involved in many different things this year . Shelby Kolb was the first member of the Franklin County FFA Chapter to run for state office . Kyle Seibert competed in the Freshman Extemporaneous Public Speaking CDE Kyle received first
place and will be representing Indiana at the national competitions this fall . The members that participated in the FFA State Band were Angela Doherty , and Kayla Galyen , and they performed with the band at several of the sessions . Andrew Herrmann was recognized for his Agricultural Processing Proficiency , for which he earned 2nd place at State . The members receiving their Hoosier Degrees were Sam Ludwig , Grace Moster , Luke Stirn , & Ben Ball . Our Voting Delegates this year were Ben Ball & Luke Stirn . The members that participated in State FFA Courtesy Corp were Nate Frondorf , Isaac Selm , Austin Volk , Peter Volk , Spencer Meier , Kyle Seibert , Heather Stenger , Luke Stirn , Ben Ball , Grayce Knapp , Sara Weaver , & Emily Wendel . These members helped with setting up for sessions and preparing for the different events the members could participate in , such as the dance . We passed the slate of 2017-2018 State FFA officers , and we are excited to see what they will accomplish as officers this coming year .
The Lawrenceburg Library has a book mobile that has served the community well over the years . As Chaucer , the father of English literature , is credited for saying in the year 1374 , all good things must come to an end .
The older bookmobile was quite large which posed a problem on many rural roads and in gas stations . And due to staff changes , the library no longer had a driver for the mobile unit .
Fortunately , the library was successful in acquiring a grant to purchase a new book mobile from the Dearborn Community Foundation . Barbara Bonney , director of the Lawrenceburg Library , said , " I felt that the receipt of this grant allowed us to pay it forward and donate the unit to someone in the county ." And pay it forward they did . Just one hour after sending an email inquiring if anyone had a need for the mobile unit , Ms .
Bonney had two women in her office hugging her . Mary Calhoun and Lois Franklin from the Health Department told Bonnie that they have been trying to get a mobile unit for over five years !
" We are delighted that the book mobile will be put to good use in the community ," said Ms . Bonney .
Plans are being made to redesign the book mobile for use by all five of the groups in the health department . Nursing , vital resources , health education , food , and environment will all be a part of the repurposing of the vehicle and will be able to use it upon completion .
The new book mobile is scheduled to be delivered to the Lawrenceburg Library in early August .
Not another inquiry was made about the older book mobile . It makes one wonder about the power of fate and paying it forward .
The Lawrenceburg Book Mobile will be finding new life as a mobile unit for the Health Department .
