April 15, 2016 (Online April 23rd) FFA Banquet |
Members (or surving family representatives) of the original 1974 Collinsville FFA Alumni Lifetime Association were honored at the 62nd annual Collinsville FFA Parent-Member Banquet April 15, 2016. That 1974 organization was the first ever of it's kind anywhere for FFA. Collinsville's FFA was also the first chapter organized in the State of Oklahoma in 1928. L-R in the photo: Gina (Sposato) Quinn and Mike Branen at the podium for presentations to these families present: Colpitt, Bonebrake, Day, Barnes, Wolfe, Johnson, Lindsey, Smalygo, Just, Smalygo, Bryson, Keith, Lamb, Lowe, and Lamb. |
The Collinsville Masonic Lodge presented a $4035 check to the FFA Alumni following up on a prior fundraiser. | ||||
The evening was as much about the current FFA students as it was the alumni. Many speeches, presentations and awards were given for the 2015-2016 school year activities and accomplishments. Just a small sample of those awarded are in the photo above. | ||||

The FFA Officers
for 2016-17 were announced at the banquet. L-R: Kaylyn Branen, Bailee
Nunes, Laney Branen, Julie Branen, Destiny Bump, Katsy Smalygo, and Daniel
Kaiser. (Monica Rubio missed this post banquet photo). I'll count on the reporter to get me a list of all of their offices ... but congratulations to Katsy who will be the president. -- Ted Wright 4/23/2016 |
