Here Troendle continued to stay active with FFA by becoming an active member of the St. Charles FFA Alumni and Supporters.

Troendle has put numerous hours of dedication and resources into this program. Aside from the President's Circle, he has also made a significant financial investment to the FFA through the FFA Foundation. For more than a decade, Fred and his wife, Sandra, have supported several FFA programs, including the foundation's golf tournament, the Jim Ertl Agricultural Education Proficiency Fund, and the overall mission of the Minnesota FFA Foundation. Fred and Sandra are also members of the FFA Foundation Legacy Club.The Minnesota FFA Alumni and Supporters cannot thank Fred enough for the significant impact that he has had on our organization and FFA as a whole.
