The members are enrolled in some sort of business class. They try to help young people gain technical leader- ship in business. FBLA held several parties for handicapped children. In October, some of the members went to the Georgia Retardation Center. They had a Halloween party with games and balloons. The club members really enjoyed themselves, as did the people of GRC. They also held a Thanksgiving party for some people at Hi-Hope. Members of FBLA and VOT volunteer to go to the different par- ties. Many of them work in the afternoon and can only go if they can get off work. They also held a party for the Atlanta School of the Deaf in December. Ruby Ann Rollins dressed as Santa Claus and gave presents to the kids. Patricia Caldwell knew sign language and was able to carry on some conversations with them. Before going to see the handicapped children, people from each of the institutions came to talk to members to prepare them on what to expect from the patients. Mr. Robert Clark came to prepare them before going to GRC. He told them what to expect from patients and explained the program at GRC, as did Joanne Widden for Hi-Hope. Before going to the Atlanta School for the Deaf, Leanne Meadows and Efia McDonald, a 6-year old child who did sign language for the club, came to talk about the students at the center. Cindy Andrews was the president of FBLA and led all the meetings and did a super job. Rhonda Denny did an excellent job as vice-president. She helped Cindy in any way she could. Rhonda and Cindy worked hard to make 1982-83 the best year in the history of FBLA. The other hard working of- ficers were: Karen Peterson - secretary, Sandy Buice - Good health and welfareg Patricia Caldwell - program chairmang Julie Whitford - treasurerg and Keith Contino - Reporter and Historian.

he Future Homemakers of America was co- sponsored by Ms. Sue Dozier and Mrs. Sally Weatherford. They taught the members of the club in a great variety of classes. From sewing to cooking, each member of the club had a different interest in Home Economics. The purpose of FHA is to develop leadership and service for the school and community. For the past few years, FHA has adopted a grandmother in the Norcross area. Once or twice a month, five or six members go to see her. While there, they talk to her, listen to her many stories of her life, and take food to her. The members enjoy doing this because they get a feeling of helping someone with a lone- ly heart. Besides visiting their grandmother, they also go to different Day Care Centers in the area to have some par- ties for the kids. FY A10 A11 1. 1982-83 FB LA officers. 2.
