We hosted our 71st Annual Meeting on September 3rd, and what a meeting it was! Everyone gathered together in the beautiful, historic barn on Jerry and Peggy Chabrian's property in West Alexandria, OH. The evening was bright and warm, without a rain cloud in sight. Voting for our Board of Supervisors Election took place just before everyone enjoyed a delicious, free meal served by Charlotte's Catering. Jerry and Peggy Chabrian kicked off the meeting by discussing the history of the barn, as well as the Morningstar North Airport and headquarters for Women in Aviation, which are located on the property.
After dinner, attendees enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Randall Reeder, a Will Rogers impressionist. Randall talked about agriculture, the world today, and performed some funny skits in true Will Rogers fashion! Two special awards were given out that evening. Steve Vanzant was honored as the 2020 Outstanding Cooperator, and Dan Hays was inducted into the Conservation Hall of Fame. Congratulations to these great people! BJ Price led the crowd through a Preble County Trivia game, and prizes were raffled off toward the end of the night. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to announce election results at the end of the meeting. An official Ohio Department of Agriculture representative was not able to attend our meeting due to ODA's health safety guidelines. Ballots were, instead, counted on September 4th. Mike Broermann and Kip Denlinger were re-elected to serve another term, starting January 1st, 2020. Thank you to Jerry and Peggy Chabrian for all of their time and effort making the barn into a fantastic meeting space, Charlotte Akers and her staff for making a great meal for everyone to enjoy, and Randall Reeder for enlightening the crowd through Will Rogers wisdom and humor. A special thank you to Jim Meeks and Jamie Beneke for running in our Supervisor election. Lastly, we would like to thank all of our customers and cooperators for their support and partnership. We cannot wait to see you all next year for our 72nd Annual Meeting! |
