Future Business Leaders of America

We look forward to an awesome new school year with FBLA! Our next monthly meeting is October 28; you must be a member to attend. Dues are $25 and can be paid in cash or check to Mrs. Carter or through MySchoolBucks.

We had 62 members last year and want to exceed that amount this year! Those that bring new members to join FBLA will be competing for the top recruiter award. The winner will be announced in December.

Community Service Award levels include Community (50 hours), Service (200 hours), and Achievement (500 hours). These hours can accumulate over your high school career and count toward your Service Seal on your diploma (120 hours needed for CHS)!

October's Service Project--Members will donate bags of candy for the upcoming Trunk or Treat at CPS. Bring your candy in by October 23.
October's Alzheimer's Walk Service Project--Members can join the team and walk for Alzheimer's awareness on October 17 at Valdosta Middle School starting at 9:30 am.
