Bethany's Blessing- Summer Travels

South Dakota FFA Camp
The state officer team, state ambassadors, and staff held three camps around the state of South Dakota. I had the blessing of flying into Souix Falls, SD and spending a couple of days at Camp NeDosak in the North Central part of the state. The theme was "Beverly Hillbillies Find their Fortune."

Top 10 Memories

*Staying at Camp NeDoSak

*Being entertained by the Beverly Hillbillies (aka the state officers & ambassadors)

*Learned about the Great Games on the Green including Vegetable Bobbing

*Hearing about the herds of wild buffalo in Western South Dakota

*Eating some of the best camp food EVER! "Whoot, Whoot!" to all who agree

*Being amazed by the service projects your chapters do.

*Entertained at Variety Show Night- the impersonations were the BEST!

*'Bofie' is an actual word

*Listening to the incredible hearts that you all have.

WLC Service Day

After FFA Retreats in South Dakota, it was off to Washington DC and join WLC for a day.

Here's what went down!

Who: "Lincoln Logs" and their fearless leader Miss Kirby O'Donoghue of the Rosslyn Hotel (Big shout out to them!!!)

When: Week 5 of Washington Leadership Conference---Service Day

Where: Capitol Food Bank

What: During a couple of hours we boxed and sorted over 40,000 pounds worth of goods (food, baby products, that will be distributed to food banks through the DC area.

Why: We MUST because we CAN!

Throw those signs Lincoln Logs! Be proud of what you did! It was such a gift for me to be able to witness so many FFA members do acts of service to help other people-most who we will never meet! A perfect morning, to remind us of why we believe in the FFA so much.
