3. National FBLA-PBL Week [February 10-16, 2008] FBLA-PBL sets aside the second week of February each year as National FBLA-PBL Week. Chapters are encouraged to use this time to publicize their activities and successes, boost their membership, and gear up for their spring activities. In addition, FBLA-PBL recognizes the Wednesday of this week as Adviser Appreciation Day. Members are encouraged to use this day to pay special tribute to the dedicated individuals who make the association possible on the local level. Many chapters plan special activities for each day of the week. These include everything from Professional Attire Day to FBLA-PBL T-shirt Day to Faculty Appreciation Day and Career Awareness Day. As FBLA-PBL Week coincides each year with National Career & Technical Education Month, this is an excellent time to inform the public about the purpose of school-to-work activities and programs in general. The momentum of a national event provides the perfect occasion to spotlight the value of membership and of career education. Here are our activities for Monday-Friday: Monday: Make an announcement in your classes about FBLA-PBL Week and the importance of joining student organizations. Talk to teachers/professors and gain their support! Sponsor a second semester recruitment drive. Tuesday: Sell March of Dimes bears (a great Valentines Day gift!) and Valentines Balloons to raise awareness of FBLA-PBL at your school. Wednesday: Honor your advisers by bringing coffee and doughnuts for them. Thursday: Join your fellow FBLA-PBL members nationwide in wearing business attire to school or work. Be sure to take a photo and e-mail it to communications@fbla.org. Friday: Hold a reception for school administrators, advisers, members, and local business partners. Plan a social for your chapter members — meet for a group dinner, host a volleyball tournament, sip some lattes at a coffee shop, or go out dancing!

4. Comment Sheet In the February Brochure we had a tare-off sheet for you in it to write some comments about what you would like more of in FBLA… Now we will discuss some of the comments we received from you all. If you did not pick one up and would like one then please see Mrs. Thornbury after the meeting. You can still send the comments to Mrs. Ross in Room 101!!

5. FBLA Board FBLA has a board out on the wall by Mrs. Ross’s room. Some of the things on the board are: Monthly Calendar, Member of the Month, and Events Guide.

6. Calendar Costume The Calendar Costume is when FBLA hosts a full 12 Month Calendar with two people on each monthly cover. Now what this results in is a Calendar Tryout day, at which everyone competes for a certain month by dressing up in a costume related to the month they try out for. Now, if you’d like more information, then please see Mrs. Thornbury in Room 111.

7. Balloons Come and get your balloons in Room 102! You can get Birthday balloons, Valentine ’ s Day Balloons, personal balloons, or balloons for your friends! The balloons you purchase are passed out during 4th Block. If you need more info, then please see Mrs. Taylor in Room 102!! These balloons are a fundraiser to help FBLA!

8. School Store Come and see what's new in the School Store across from Room 111. The School Store has almost all of the things you can think of for school. If you ’ d like to see it then speak with Mrs. Thornbury after the Club Meeting. But if you cannot view it after this meeting, then then please talk to Mrs. Thornbury in Room 111, Jacob Taylor, or Courtney Cooper for more information.
