After about four hours of sleep, Cory, Jamie, and myself packed up for our first ROPE Conference. We went to Providence Grove High School to conduct the Regional Officer Training class for the SW and WC Regional Officer Teams. It was an early morning but all of the Regional Officers were excited and ready to start their journey as representatives of North Carolina FFA. Goals were set, visions made, and mission statements were documented. The Southwest and West Central Officers were ready to take on their RLCs. It was also really neat to meet the miniature horses and rabbits that live in the beautiful barn at Providence Grove.
