You’ve heard of Christmas in July? Well, at the national headquarters we’re thinking of July at Christmas. We’ve already begun thinking and planning for the 2009 National Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
We look forward an amazing week as FCCLA members go Beyond the Label to discover new leadership qualities through participation at USA Leadership Training, show off their skills with STAR Events, learn more about a future career with Career Explorations, and have a little fun too.
Of course national meetings aren’t just for students. Advisers have opportunities for professional development as well. As always, adviser input is crucial to our success. What workshop topics would you like to see covered at NLC?
Send us your feedback by commenting on this blog entry or by emailing Amy Doane at adoane@fcclainc.org.

Helping Hands Make Holidays Happy!
In Reston the weather has turned cold, the office is decorated for the holidays and full of yummy goodies just in time for the season. It is a perfect time for chapters to participate in community service projects. We’ve heard from chapters who serve in soup kitchens, collect items for food pantries and sew blankets for shelters. These activities can be a great team builder for your chapter, but if you haven’t scheduled your community service project yet, don’t worry, there’s another time of year that is also perfect for giving back.
FCCLA Week takes place February 8-14, 2009. Use this week to refill those food pantries, serve more meals and provide additional items to shelters in the community. Community organizations often seen an outpouring of giving during the holiday season, but their demand is so high that by the time February rolls around they are once again in need of help. This list of ideas can help you and your chapter officers plan for activities during FCCLA Week to get the entire school motivated and moving.
