Blanco FFA members Mindy Dechert and Kylie Leachman spent three days at Camp McKinney Roughs in Bastrop attending the Area VII FFA Leadership Development Camp. The camp is designed to build and enhance leadership potential for those attending.

Mindy, who will be serving as the Hill District President for the upcoming school year, as well as Kylie, took part in numerous character building activities. In addition, campers were responsible for helping to plan FFA activities within the area and their respective districts for the upcoming year.

Finally, FFA members were given an overview of the 2009 State FFA Convention, which will be held in Dallas beginning July 6th and running through the 10th.
