The counties are Harrison, Floyd, Clark, Washington, Scott, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Switzerland, Ohio, Dearborn and Ripley (bordering the Ohio river) in southeast Indiana.
Schickel will use a power point program to explain in detail the three “Farm Bureau Families”.
The meeting and the program will be preceded with a pot-luck dinner at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Lanesville Junior-Senior High school. Farm Bureau members are asked to bring a vegetable and a salad or dessert. Meat, drinks and tableware will be provided by the Farm Bureau.
Guy Heitkemper, Franklin Township Farm Bureau chairman encourages Farm Bureau members and guests to attend this informational meeting. “It should be very interesting to many of us as we learn of the formative years of the three Farm Bureau families”, Heitkemper said. |

Approximately 4,500 students in grades 4, 5, and 6 from around the state are preparing for the 17th annual Elementary Spell Bowl competition which will take place at over 20 sites around the state on Thursday evening, November 19. Over 400 teams of eight students each will compete. The competition for the Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, and Washington county areas will be held at Borden Elementary School. The competition will begin at 5:30 p.m.
The Indiana Academic Spell Bowl is a team concept with no individual winners. Each round consists of one team member writing the correct spelling of seven words while competing against one team member from each other school. Students are seated on the gym floor for the competition. Each word is graded immediately and an individual scoring chart maintains a running team score as the evening progresses. While students are waiting to compete, they sit in a cheer block to cheer for their teammates.
