JUNIOR CORNER

 

This quarter we are featuring Benjamin Rohrbach, 2006-07 Berks County Junior Grange Prince.

 

 

Hi!  Just to let you know a little about myself.  I am 15 years old, home schooled, and am in the 9th grade.

 

I live on a dairy farm in Shoemakersville with my parents, Allan and Beth.  I also have three brothers and one sister.

 

With county camp soon here, my privilege of being Prince is coming to an end.  I have enjoyed greatly visiting different meetings and community nights.  Being able to meet new people and represent the Junior Grange has been a rewarding experience for me.
