On February 27 & 28th Alexus Galassi 13’ and Brooke Aguirre 13’ attended the 2011 South Coast Regional Officer Screening in San Luis Obispo, in the attempt to be selected to run for an officer position on the 2010-2011 Regional team. The South Coast Region consists of students from Monterey Bay to Canoga Park. The region is represented by a team of eleven students throughout that area. During the screening process the 42 applicants participated in ice breakers, relay races, team building activities and impromptu speeches. The applicants where also interviewed by three past regional officers. The screening process was to evaluate the applicants personalities and leadership qualities. After waiting a nerve-racking two hours for the retiring regional officers to deliberate, the applicants were seated to announce the slated positions. Alexus is slated for the 2011-2012 Regional Reporter position, and Brooke is slated for the 2011-2012 Regional Vice President for Ventura Section position. Both members will be running against their opponents at the South Coast Regional Meeting on March 18th. There, they will give a two minute speech, answer a thirty second question and hand out flyers to the delegates.

Brooke Aguirre is the Fillmore FFA Chapter Reporter
