FCCLA Regional Meeting

Here is a picture of members at Silver Dollar City last year.

This year the Regional Meeting will be on October 7^th at Silver Dollar City. The morning will give students the chance to hear a powerful speaker and see THREE Walnut Grove Regional Officers, and the afternoon always brings fun with the SDC rides and shops. Students wanting to attend must pay their dues by September 11^th. Tickets for the meeting will be $26.00 which includes lunch. Students with season passes can go for free but will be responsible for the cost of lunch. Parents are more than welcome to go but must drive separately. The deadline to sign up will be Friday, September 18.

Join the Batch

Competition always brings out the best in people, so we figured a little friendly competition to get people to pay their FCCLA dues would be fun. And when food is at stake people really get excited. This year we are having a contest called “Join the Batch with Walnut Grove FCCLA.” Each of the FACS classes has been challenged to get members to pay their dues ($13). The first class to have 100% participation or the class with the highest percentage on Wednesday, August 27 will win FRESH BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Have you paid your dues yet?
