Spaletta, FFA president, spent three days in Washington D.C. along with 350 other students from California. According to Spaletta, they had a full schedule of site-seeing. They visited the White House, the Smithsonian, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Ford's Theater. ln Washington D.C. the best thing I saw was the Smithsonian, said Spaletta. After the stay in Washington D.C.,Spaletta traveled to Kansas City for the national FFA convention. At the convention the sight-seeing seemed to halt, but the activities had just begun. According to Spaletta, he went to seminars and heard guest speakers lecture on a variety of topics. Among the speakers were George i 25.15 1 :Q :rt ' , , J ,. . Wi .. l 3 J 1 'A g-1 ' ' Jr tg? 1? K ,., . . . , 1 ..g:,-1 .. Bush, vice president of the United States, and Lee laccoca, chief executive of Chrysler corporations. Other activities included the swearing in of new national officers, opening and closing ceremonies, steer shows and the American Royal Rodeo. There was also a talent show for the FFA members and the national FFA band performed. The best part of the convention was the rodeo and the swearing in of new officers, said Spaletta. Although the convention seemed fun and exciting there was a purpose. The convention unites FFA members from all over the country. At the convention members learned how to be better officers. lt was a exciting experience being a part of 24,560 students, said Spaletta. by Darlene Martin .ci - . J.

' he H 9-'W Eldridge helps at care home Brenda Eldredge started out by volunteer- ing for I2 hours of service time for a prerequisite for the Northern California Miss TEEN fTeens Encouraging Excellence Na- tionallyl pagent, but then she became a paid employee for Shelton's Board and Care Home. l'After I worked my required I2 hours, they said I worked out really well and they asked me if I wanted to become an emplo- yee, said Eldredge. At the care home Eldredge bathed, fed, took total care of, and did fun activities with young adults up to I8 years old that were confined to wheel chairs. At first I felt kind of scared but then I got use to the kids, Eldredge said. I feel like I'm helping them instead of babysitting them. According to EIdredge,her goal was to work with the public in some way. I liked working with the public, said Eldredge. According to Eldredge, the kids that she worked with got a good feeling when she was around. l'They lit up when I did fun things with them, said Eldredge. According to Eldredge the job has made her realize that other people aren't as fortunate as herself. By Darrin Hughes fi. 3 .KJV gm , if' 2 la' I I
