(St. Leon, Ind.) - The Indiana FFA Leadership Center was the site of the annual member retreat on July 10. 

Eight members of the East Central FFA Chapter traveled to Trafalgar to complete a service project around the center. 

Members pruned shrubs and performed landscape clean-up. Attendees of the member retreat also visited Creek Cattle Company at Indian Creek High School to learn more about their cattle operation and how it benefits the school and community. 

On the final morning of the retreat, members completed a ropes challenge course and learned how to better work as a team. 

East Central FFA Chapter members that attended were Tyler Stenger, Riley Shumate, Mackenzie Eckstein, Shelby Dawson, Josilyn Tidwell, Isabelle Leurck, Alayna Workman, and Bryson Dossenback.
