Don't Forget to Register for Fall Leadership Camp!

Advisers, don't forget to register your students for Ohio FCCLA's 2011 Fall Leadership Camp!  Fall Leadership Camp is held from Monday, October 17-18th at the Heartland Retreat Center in Marengo, Ohio.  This is an amazing and fun opportunity for students to understand more about the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.  With its many workshops, students can begin to learn more about all the different "equipment" FCCLA has to offer and how to implement them in your local community!

The workshops are created by both the state officers and the state officer advisers, so not only are your students grasping information from adults, but from their peers.  Along with these workshops, we are having many different representatives in which Ohio FCCLA partners with speaking to get more people involved with their programs.  Such respresentatives are speaking on behalf of Haiti, Special Olympics, Honor Flight, Ronald McDonald House, UGive, and much more!

Don't miss out on all the fun and register your students today for Ohio FCCLA's Fall Leadership Camp!

Can't wait to see you all there,
Amanda Meyer
Ohio FCCLA State Vice President of National Programs

Capitol Leadership

I am so excited for Capitol Leadership!! This year, on October 9-12, FCCLA members and advisors from all over the country will be swarming to our Nation’s Capitol! These few days will be packed with advocacy training and public policy development, along with plenty of opportunities to meet new people from around the country. The Ohio State Executive Council is looking forward to meeting with our senators and staff from our individual legislatures around the state. We are pumped to share with them about all the things we hold dear like youth leadership, nutrition, childhood obesity, FACS, and naturally, FCCLA! I’m ready to roll into D.C. and see that big, white monument, and explore the land of our Founding Fathers! I love to go to FCCLA gatherings and be around all the wonderful youth leaders and watch others gape at the sea of red blazers J Hope to see you all there!
Until Then,
Lindsey Schneider, State Vice President of Public Relations
