Hello everyone!
I just received a phone call from Quentin; and have the results from the 2010 Colorado River Valley District FFA Creed Speaking Contest.
Stephany Joos is the District Creed Speaking Champion; Torrie Gerloff placed 3rd!
These girls had to compete against the Chapter Creed speaking winners from 6 other schools (14 speakers total) – only one student is allowed the opportunity to represent these schools (our district) at the State Creed Speaking Contest, which will be held in Alamosa this next year!
For the second year in a row, a member of the Meeker FFA Chapter will be given that opportunity! I am so very proud of our students! Memorizing, presenting (on a stage in front of a large crowd), and answering questions about the 5 paragraph FFA Creed is quite an accomplishment – especially when you realize that we ask our youngest students in the school (Freshmen) to do it! I wanted to let you all know about our student’s successes today! Both girls worked extremely hard and deserve a pat on the back.

Yesterday, Meeker’s FBLA chapter traveled to Grand Junction for the District 9 Leadership Conference. Erica Roybal, our District 9 vice president and organizer of the event, did a great job in preparation for the conference this year.
Our chapter did very well, with several teams and individuals qualifying for state. Here are the results:
(Note: State qualification requirements are different for every event. In most cases, the top three in individual pre-tested events will qualify; and the top two in team or live events will qualify.)

On Monday, while in Denver, Colorado for the 2010 National Western Stock show, our very own Meeker FFA Chapter toured four agricultural related forms of business. One of those businesses included Shamrock Foods, which is one of the largest distribution companies in the western United States. Shamrock Foods is made up of four smaller corporations that help to distribute their products. On average, approximately 13,000 different varieties of products run through the distribution plant in Commerce City, Colorado daily. Approximately, three months ago, Shamrock Foods added on to their distribution plant a meat packing plant. There are many different types of meat that runs through this distribution plant. Beef is the most common but they also store poultry, pork, and seafood as well. There are 13 different types of seafood that runs through this plant including a live lobster tank. On average, between two and three thousand pounds of seafood daily. At this distribution plant, they have the privilege of keeping a USDA certified person onsite six days per week to inspect their meat before it is sent out to the consumer. The consumers also get the chance to go in and show the meat packing plant employees how they want their meat cut if they are not pleased with the product that they received in the past. Shamrock Foods is a company that is very dedicated to the happiness of its customers. They are so dedicated that if the customers need fresh products the next day, all the customer has to do is place their orders by 5:00 PM. Shamrock foods is very dedicated to keeping the statement that their products are fresh when they are distributed. To keep their products remaining fresh, Shamrock foods make sure that their entire inventory has not been there for longer than twenty-eight days.

Our second day at the Denver, Colorado National Western Stock show, I had the privilege of watching the 2010 Junior Market Lamb Show. As opposed to last year, this year’s market lambs were very nice this year that made for an excellent competition. This year’s judge was much more thorough this year compared last year. He took his time in making his selection and when he had the top five lambs selected, he gave very easy to follow and thorough reasons for his selection. The overall show was very intriguing. The sheep showmen all worked very hard at attempting to get their lambs to look their absolute bests and excelled dramatically. We had two students from Meeker, Colorado that represented our town at stock show this year and they did an excellent job.
