Arcanum MVCTC FFA
Recognized at State Convention
On May 3rd and 4th members of the Arcanum – MVCTC FFA Chapter attended
the 90th Ohio FFA State Convention held at the Ohio Expo Center in
Columbus. Members were recognized for various
accomplishments at their second State Convention after being
reestablished as a FFA Chapter. While in Columbus members were
able to attend the Ohio FFA Career Expo, tour The Ohio State University
Agriculture Engineering Building and attend Convention Sessions that
included motivational speakers Gian Paul Gonzalez, Greg Ibach and
National FFA Secretary Erica Baier.
During Convention’s 1st session, Samantha McAllister walked across the
stage to receive recognition for the Chapter’s Charitable Contribution
to the Dayton Children’s Hospital with money raised through the Arcanum
Lions Club Walk for Pediatric Cancer. During the 4th session
three of the Chapter Officers recognized for their Gold Rated Officer
Books. They were Jacob Osswald – Treasurer, Alexandria Less –
Secretary, and Austin Fourman – Reporter. While at the
convention the Arcanum MVCTC FFA members were able to pick up their
banners for placing top 5 in the State in three different Career
Development Events. The Chapter placed 5th in Ag Tech and
Mechanical Systems, 4th in Farm Business Management and 5th in Grain
Merchandising.
To cap off the convention trip, during the 5th and final session five
members of the chapter were awarded the State FFA Degree. The
State FFA Degree is earned by less than 2 percent of Ohio FFA Members

member. The Arcanum students who were presented the degree
