 Dear Members, 

Thank you if you came to the FBLA meeting today.

Mandatory Speaking Event Meeting: Wednesday, January 13th, at tutorial in A207.

Open Events:

–Database and Spreadsheet: Tryouts tomorrow, January 13th during tutorial and brunch in room A206 (Mr. Kwong’s room)
-FBLA Principles and Procedures, Business Calculations, Economics, Business Procedures, Parliamentary Procedure, and  Personal Finance: Tryouts this Friday, January 15th during tutorial and brunch in room A209 (Mr. Logie’s room)

-All make up competition practice tests and tryout tests: Make ups this Friday, January 15th during lunch in room A207 (Mr. Lee’s room)

 

Please note that in order to compete, you must be a registered member and have three hours of involvement with FBLA. These three hours may come from volunteering, projects, or socials.

Also, Disneyland is having a Get a Day, Give a Day program where if you volunteer one day through the HandsOnNetwork (the actually volunteering is in the local, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Cupertino area) , you can receive a free Disneyland ticket which is conveniently next to FBLA state. Unfortunately, volunteering with Get a Day, Give a Day, requires you to be registered by your parents so FBLA cannot officially organize anything. However, if you do your volunteering with the HandsOn, we will accept that for hours of involvement.  It is just a cool opportunity we thought you might be interested in:  http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/disneyparks/en_US/WhatWillYouCelebrate/index?name=Give-A-Day-Get-A-Disney-Day 

Congratulations and Happy 16th Birthday Andrew Ng! 

Best Regards,

Kathy Sun

President
