EMC Cabin Dedication

Georgia’s EMCs were recognized during the May 3 dedication of the new EMC Cabin at the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center in Covington at a lunch held prior to the cabin’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Formerly known as the REA Cabin, the structure represents a three-year undertaking to renovate the original cabin built in 1957 with funds donated by EMCs.

“Nearly 60 years ago, the EMCs helped fund one of the first of many cabins built by the shores of Lake Jackson. The updated cabin will continue to host generations of campers who are learning to better themselves and our communities through FFA for years to come,” said Georgia EMC President/CEO A. Paul Wood.

Shivani Dhir, Georgia FCCLA state president, welcomed guests to the event. Attendees heard from Sierra Milligan, 2012–2013 Georgia FFA state vice president; John “Chip” Bridges, program director of agricultural education, Georgia Dept. of Education; and Todd Teasley, Georgia FFA director of development and leadership. Also in attendance were Laura Ergle, FCCLA state adviser, and Ben Lastly, Georgia FFA executive secretary.
