Football Game

Thanks to all FBLA members who volunteered to work in the concession stand and worked last Friday! Great job!

October 6-Meeting

Our last meeting was a very short meeting in which we discussed upcoming events such as last Friday's football game, our social event, and fundraising. We have decided to sell beef jerky sticks, and there will be a minimum amount each member will be required to sell. We also discussed each person's events (if you don't have an event, see Mrs. Frankel). That was pretty much it for the meeting so I will keep you updated.

Attention!

Attention all FBLA members! We will be having a meeting this coming Monday(October 5) to discuss new business. All members NEED to attend in order to receive a point towards state and to get updated with what's happening in FBLA!

See you on Monday!

Short Memo

Hello again fellow bloggers... As you know, FBLA members went to the Cardinals/Cubs game on Sunday night, and it was a big success. We had a lot of fun even though we were seated in the nosebleed section, but at least we could see the whole field. There is no news of when our next meeting will be, but we are having an officer's meeting Thursday morning at 7:30 A.M.! All officers need to attend to plan this year's activities to become an Outstanding Chapter! That's all for now! I will keep you updated after our officer meeting!

Monday's Meeting

Hello again. As I told you in the last note, we had a meeting on Monday night. We had a good attendence, but it is encouraged that all members show up as much as possible. During the meeting, Nicole Staples, President, discussed the Cardinals game, and iteneraries were passed out along with a permission slip for parents to sign. The three committees, social, fundraising, and community service broke off into separate groups for a part of the night to discuss what they thought we should do during the year for each of the committees. The social committee discussed our Christmas party, which will probably be at Sports Blast in Carbondale like it was last year. The fundraising committee discussed possible fundraisers for the year, which included selling cookies and selling beef jerky sticks. We are hoping to get a good amount of money with the beef jerky sticks by selling them at lunch to students and faculty. The community service committee thought of ideas such as having a blood drive, which we will be putting on sometime on October or November. The t-shirt contest was won by Dalton Wagley, a sophmore, whom which majority voted for. His design will be posted on the website along with a picture of him to show his job well done. This year, Mrs. Frankel has decided to create a point system for who gets to go to the state competition in Decatur. In order to get points you must come to a certain number of meetings and study sessions and be involved with the group's activities as much as possible. In order to go, you have to have achieved a certain number of points. Those were the main topics of the meeting on Monday night, and I will continue to keep you informed on the date of our next meeting and what's happening in Herrin High School's FBLA!
