t l Voetteelh P L PBL involves Business students Here at Jones County Jr. College the Vocational-Technical Phi Beta Lambda is a special interest group within Phi Beta Lambda. It is made up of students enrolled in Data Processing and Intensive Business courses. At present, there are approxi- mately 100 members within this division. This breakdown of membership into two groups enables these students to become more involved with club activities and pro- vides for a closer relationship between members, officers, and sponsors. During the 1978-79 school year, Vo-Tech PBL has been active in meetings, fund-rais ing, and attending seminars and confer- ences. PBL's meetings have been informative ones concerning such subjects as the media of radio and have provided students with other opportunities to view firsthand the activities of local businesses. One plan- ned meeting concerned showing members the ways and means of buying a home. Fund-raising this year consisted of a bake sale with home-baked goodies. The pro- ceeds went to help finance the trip which was made by several officers to the South- ern Region Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida. In addition to being an independent organization, Vo-Tech PBL has worked very successfully with the academic group. Ear- lier this year, both groups worked together in planning the Southern State Minl-Confer- ence held at Jones County Junior College. Sponsoring the PBL group is Mr. Robert Landrum, instructor of the Data Processing department at JCJC. 3 .M-5,1 Members of both chapters of Phi Beta Lambda participated in the FBLA meeting on campus which involved high school students. , rw- , y . ---. , l qtI4ltt4,- I' .
