When I was in high school I applied to a bunch of different scholarships, I recieved some ag related scholarships and the most important one to me was one that is similar to what we are trying to set up here, definitely not the dollar amount, as it was also a $500 scholarship, but the reason that it was being offered. At the FFA banquet that year they had a representative from the schlorship commitee come to the banquet and give a brief explanation of the gentlemen who it was in honor of and the impact that the person had in the life of so many. It wasn't a long speech, just a couple minutes telling a little about his life, but it meant a lot to me that they were there to present the award to me.
I know it would very much depend on who the recipient is and more so where they are located, but if at all possible I think it would great if a member of Steer Planet could be in attendence at a FFA banquet somewhere. They wouldn't necessarily have to make a speech, but we could write up a little letter that the presenter could read.
Just a thought.
