Raising Money
This year we've already raised much needed money by working in the concession stands during the Girls Volleyball games. The money raised go to fund events such as transportation cost, food for banquets, snacks for meetings, and leadership conference dues. Pictured: Front row - Gaby Norris, Waverlynne Brown, Alissa Brown, Jerzee Williams,

The top students who volunteer for concessions will receive awards at the end of the year.

Community Engagement - The Falcon FBLA in Action!

Picture
October 5, 2013. Katie Kulic, Jessica Janzer, Hannah Williams and Mariah Meredith braved the cold Saturday morning to lend their time and support for the Venetucci Farm Annual Pumpkin Run. Every year, the farm holds a great pumpkin run. All ages participate. Children win ribbons for free pumpkins. This year over 400 runners participated. All proceeds from the event go directly to benefit the programs at Venetucci Farm. The farm is currently raising money money to build a barn, which is needed for all the animals. The event requires many volunteers in order to make the run possible. Out FBLA Members were assigned duty at two of the water stations where they provided both nourishment and encouragement to the runners. And in the case of Mariah, comedy was also provided. We are very proud of our volunteers and this is just one of the many volunteering projects Falcon FBLA will provide for our community. Thank you ladies for all of your time and effort.
