LEWISBURG — On Saturday, March 25, the Tri-County North Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) FFA chapter had planned to hold its annual banquet. Unfortunately, members could not hold it in person, but would still like to thank the community, parents, and anyone who has helped over the past year — and recognize hard working members.
“The support of everyone keeps this program moving. We would like to highlight award winners and program supporters,” Advisor Charity Cox said.
Tri-County North MVCTC FFA says “thank you” to the following sponsors that supported the chapter’s FFA banquet:
Platinum Sponsors ($100 and up) — John Landis Pioneer Seeds, Kerri Brown and George Prater, and Joe Conley.
Silver Sponsors ($50-$74.99) — Roger and Kim Gebhart
“If you have not got your donation in and would like to still support you can,” Cox said. “Thank you all so much for your support and helping our chapter grow. It is my pleasure to have the chance to recognize the members for the work that they put forth throughout the year.”
