Future Business Leaders Ot America Club Gives Many Benefits To Members by Steph Vaughn The Future Business Leaders of America club at Agua Fria, which has existed since 1972, distributed ten bags of groceries and two turkeys to needy families for Thanksgiv- ing. Mayfair Market and A.J. Bayless each donated one turkey for FBLA to give away, and the Wigwam volunteeered to cook them. During Christmas, the club received a donation of approximately one hundred and twenty-five dollars from the Church at Litchfield Park to buy gifts for familes. FBLA also wrapped the presents at a gift- wrapping party. The meetings for the twenty-five FBLA members are the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. During the meetings, the club discusses fund-raisers and social projects. Money from fund-raisers, such as selling candy, is used to send members to regional, state, and possibly national competition in the areas of shorthand, accounting, and business law. Extra money goes towards scholarships for graduating seniors. l Farrel Cutler, FBLA's head sponsor, emphasizes, There are many benefits of being in FBLA. Members improve their business skills, do community work, socialize with others, compete against other schools, and have opportunity for special recognition. The FBLA club gives its members a good business background and the competition is fun. lt's also neat to give people food at Thanksgiving and gifts at Christmas, adds FBLA president Lisa Williams.
