President

September 2008 Message from the President

The school’s all cleaned, the books are stacked, the teachers have made their lesson plans, but are you ready for another high flying year with FCCLA? Serving as your state president I’d like to welcome you to another action-packed year of FCCLA. Your 2008-2009 State Officer Team has been working since you last saw us in April planning a super year for all FCCLA members. We have a heroic Program of Work that just might be life-altering for FCCLA members and advisers statewide:

• Be prepared to jump on the national outreach project bandwagon and help the state officer team meet Colorado’s goal of collecting $14, 400 for two Feed the Children trucks to come to Colorado.
• In order to “save the day for tomorrow” implement the three R’s - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle - into your everyday life.
• We are looking to unmask the leader within all FCCLA members, so talk to your advisers about your chapter attending Take AIM or other leadership training conferences. At Take AIM Training get to know your state officers as you build as a chapter and as individuals while enjoying Vail and meeting other members.
• Seniors - we encourage participation in Alumni and Associates in order for you to remain part of this superhero family even after you graduate.
• Advisers - to activate your students’ super career powers we encourage having one intra-curricular project in all of your classrooms, these could include the national programs.
• Advisers - be sure to check into your emails regularly to be updated on all the latest “super-powered” news.

This year’s Officer Team looks forward to meeting all of you throughout the year. Have a great year and remember wherever FCCLA takes you… HEROES HAPPEN HERE!
