Parliamentary Procedure By: Virginia Ely (Eureka FFA Reporter)
Tap! Tap! Tap! This meeting will now come to order. Is there any new business to be presented at this time? The Eureka FFA Parliamentary Procedure team placed third of six at the Section Five contest Thursday January, 26. Congratulations to Ellynne Vance, Payton Fehr, Alan Zimmerman, Allie Miller, Jodi Blunier, and Virginia Ely.
After many early morning practices and even some after school practices the team traveled to Metamora High School where they were the first team to preform. They were taken into a room where they had to take a written test then taken to another room to conduct a mock meeting. Panels of four judges were overseeing the meeting and asked each member a series of five questions. Everyone did a fantastic job and freshman, Alan Zimmerman even ended up in the top ten of the contest. Congratulations!
There was also a Job Interview competition following the Parliamentary Procedure contest that Ellynne Vance competed in. She had to apply to a fake job with an application she was asked to fill out. Then she had to call the judges from a different room and ask for an interview. Then she had to go to a room and have a mock interview with two judges. To finish off the competition she had to fill out a sheet of questions. Ellynne finished first of ten contestants, Congratulations Ellynne and Eureka Parli-Pro Team.!
