Whoa, whoa, whoa...So much to talk about!

Wow!!!....I am so sorry about this blog to all my fellow followers. We have been so busy lately, I have completely forgotten about our blog. My last blog was about the football game that we worked, and so much has happened since then. After the events of the football game, we had our first fundrasier and sold Country Meats meat sticks. There were various choices in the different types you could buy, and it was a good success. The school students responded well by purchasing them at lunch instead of buying goodies out of the vending machine. FBLA also held a blood drive in honor of the Red Cross and had a successful number of students contribute. Thanks to Casey Hubbard for being responsible for the blood drive and making sure it ran smooth. Also in December, we had our second annual FBLA Christmas party at Sports Blast in Carbondale. We had a great number show up even though it was after a basketball game, and everyone had a great time. Thanks to Sportsblast for letting us start off our Christmas break with a party there!


Earlier this year Herrin FBLA attended the regional conference at the Student Center of SIU, and if I may say so myself, we pretty much dominated! We had numerous winners in first, second, and third place. Each first place winner was given five dollars along with a certificate that each person received for placing in their event. There were eighteen schools at the event, and we had more people place than in any other school. Congratulations to all winners and everyone who participated and studied for their event!

As of now in FBLA, we are having a meeting TONIGHT at 5:30 in which everyone should attend. There will be a closed officer's meeting following to discuss important matters coming up such as FBLA-PBL week, which is next week, and the State Conference, which we will be attending on March 26-27 in Decatur, Illinois.

I will try to keep you posted as much as possible and do my best to keep this blog updated for once!

P.S. This blog is dedicated to Mrs. Frankel for getting on my case about updating the blog!...Yes I know Mrs. Frankel, I finally updated the blog!
