Rolling in Dough The Future Business Leaders of America are known throughout Cumber- land High School for selling donuts. On Friday mornings, everyone runs to get a sweet, savory Krispy Kreme donut for their ‘‘midday snack.” With the money made from selling donuts, the FBLA purchased various items for the business department. In 1979, they raised over $1,000.00 to buy a photocopy machine which is extensively used by the business stu- dents. In the fall of 1980, the club’s officers and some of its members, along with other counties, attended a workshop at Longwood College which helped each of them serve their club more fully and extend their leadership to their fellow members. 1.
