During our last meeting, we covered a lot of things to do for the remainder of December and beyond. We have to prepare for the Talent Show, first of all; your Talent Show Committee Heads should have told you what to do. Let's hope that we can prepare for the big day next Friday!

We also have to prepare for States. We have our Regionals results out (you can see them in the "Competitions" page). For those who've made it, congrats! For those who haven't, you can pick a States competition, but pick quickly as there's only a limited number of spots left! For those who have to present something at States, we are also going to have a meeting where you will present in front of your EBoard before winter break to facilitate your preparation.

We also need to select who we are going to send to run for State Office. We have a form out that needs to be sent by December 20 (no exceptions!); only sophomores and juniors are eligible. Also, you have to email us a resume of all of your FBLA activities. If you have any questions, you can visit the NJ FBLA website or ask our former State Community Service VP Inna Kapoor.

Besides that, we also have our "Donate a Disc" recycling drive!  For those who don't know, we have decorated cardboard boxes that will be used to collect CDs and other discs to recycle, as part of our Community Service project for States. We've done a great job setting it up last meeting; if anyone wants to help Inna this Friday too, you are welcome.

It's a lot, but remember that States is coming soon. The permission slip is coming soon early too; we will be posting it soon, and it will be due before winter break. In the meantime, though, prepare for your competitions and be ready for the State Leadership Conference.
