= 14 -- Scugog Citizen -- Tu day, April 6, 1993 " Junior Farmers Conference by Shelley Holliday The month of March means a lot of different things to a diverse number of people, but to a Junior Farmer it means the Annual March Conference. This year -the March Conference was held in London, Ontario (March 19-21) with over 250 enthusiastic members attending. The theme for 1998 is "Jump n - Join Us On Track to Leadership in '98". The Conference was full of workshops, committee reports, guest speakers and entertai t. Guest speakers Paynter who spoke on "Leave 'Em Laffin™. Gord is blind but his lack of vision has not affected his perceptiveness. His unique style of comedy surprises, delights and never * fails to leave the audience laughing. Mr. Paynter told his own story and inspired his listeners to pursue their goals and dreams in life despite the obstacles and challenges one encounters along the way. March Conference also included the Annual Charity Auction. This year's charity were Ken Keis, Greg Bruns and Gord Paynter. Ken Keis, a former dairy farmer, spoke about the Junior Farmer's mission and purpose as an organization, as well as a group of individuals working together in unity. The second speaker stimulated our creative thinking and helped us to understand the barriers that block our creativity. For example, remember how creative we were in kindergarten, cutting and pasting and exercising our imagination. How long has it been since we have been so creative? Our last speaker, or comedian I should say, was Gordon was "Agriculture in the Classroom".
