From Ashley Wehner- FFA Adviser:
"As some of you may already know, Ky Baker was elected as the 2024-2025 Indiana FFA State Treasurer this week at our state convention! This is a huge accomplishment and she will be serving the over 14,000 Indiana FFA members this year before she goes to Purdue in 2025. She will be traveling the state to visit different FFA chapters, put on numerous leadership workshops for students, visiting agricultural companies on behalf of the Indiana FFA and advocating for agriculture everywhere she goes. She will be moving to the FFA leadership center next Wednesday to begin her year of service and we want to send her off in style! Please stop by and give her a few words of encouragement on Saturday afternoon. I know it would mean a lot to her.
All friends, family, supporters, and community members are invited!
Saturday from 5-7:30 in the high school cafeteria we will be celebrating Ky and wishing her the best as she begins her year of service to the members of the Indiana FFA.
Light appetizers will be provided.
Feel free to spread the word throughout Switzerland County!
Thank you for your continued support!"
