MCBEE FFA CHAPTER TAKES TOP STATE HONORS
COLUMBIA, SC…The McBee FFA Chapter took top state honors during a recognition program at the recent State FFA Convention held at Clemson University. Recognized as one of nine Gold Emblem chapters in South Carolina for 2010, the group also received the Governor’s Citation of Accomplishment as State Champions in the FFA Chapter Development category.
The Governor’s Citation was presented by Larry Rogers, an official representing the USDA Farm Service Agency, sponsors of the state and national FFA chapter awards and recognition program.
Wesley Harris, executive director of the SC Rural Development Corporation, presented the chapter a check for $1000 to defray expenses for representatives to attend the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, later this year.
The citation and check were received by McBee FFA Advisor Pat Earle and FFA President Calin Jowers. A special program will be held at McBee High School in the fall to recognize the FFA members and advisor for bringing this well deserved state and national recognition to the school, community and Chesterfield County.
