With a New Year, I am off on a new adventure! Over the last 3 and a half years I have enjoyed being the River Bend Ag in the Classroom Coordinator. I have met great people and friends throughout my journey with Farm Bureau, I am forever thankful! I am looking forward to watching this program continue to grow in the years to come. If you have questions, visit our website: www.riverbendaitc.com or contact Denise at [email protected] to get in touch. Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for letting me share my passion for agriculture! ❤️
