Houston Co. Career & Tech Center Doesn't Waste Any Time Starting the Year
The FBLA chapter at the Houston County Career & Technology Centerhas had a great first semester for this school year.
Since the school is small, (full time enrollment is only 70), members are proud of the fact that they have a membership of 16 this year. HCCTC may be small but they are strong! Members have attended the Fall Motivational Rally, Fall Leadership Conference, and eleven members are planning to attend the Region V Leadership Conference Next Month.
The chapter participated in the March of Dimes Pick-A-Pumpkin service project to raise money to help save babies, and donated a scholarship basket for the Fall Leadership Conference. Members are currently conducting a canned food drive for the Salvation Army, and are working on creating coloring books for the children’s wing at a local hospital.
Some members also are participating in the instruction of an adult computer class held one night a week at the school for members of the community. The chapter has enjoyed a speaker from a local bank who spoke to on the “Importance of Building Good Credit,” and have held a meeting on “Proper Dress for the Interview.”
Members are currently looking forward to their annual FBLA Christmas get-together where they will exchange gifts and enjoy lunch and one another’s fellowship.
The chapter has also elected its 2006-2007 officers. Leading the chapter this year are:
President.....Rebecca Sills
Vice President.....Kayla Kollock
Secretary......Kasey Anderson
Treasurer.....Sarah Sisson
Reporter.......Samantha Marsh
Parliamentarian......Sam Smith
Historian......Dean Lisanby
Merry Christmas from the Houston County Career & Technology Center!

As we requested from each chapter at the Fall Leadership Conference, please send in any news you may have, to alanm499@gmail.com, and we'll post it up.
Here's to a great year in Georgia FBLA!
