take an active step in developing communication,
organization, and confidence. All members were involved
in challenging and exciting programs to develop strong
business leadership.

March of Dimes. Like other
chapters, the Rossville FBLA chapter decided to raise
money for the March of Dimes organization. On December
21, 2004, FBLA and Student Council co-sponsored a dance
with proceeds contributed to March of Dimes. Also at the
local level chapter officers sold bracelets to raise
funds. At the State Leadership Conference Brett Eakin
and Matt Ebert will work with the Southeast March of
Dimes Representative to sell wristbands as Kansas’s
official March of Dimes Project. At the 2004 National
Leadership Conference at Denver, Colorado Rossville FBLA
attendees participated in the March of Dimes Walk
America Rally.
FBLA-PBL Week. The Rossville
High School FBLA Chapter celebrated FBLA-PBL Week on
February 13-20, 2005. This week spotlights the benefits
of membership development, community service, business
education, competitive events, business integrity, and
career development through school to work programs.
During this celebration, FBLA chapters collaborate with
state and local officials to declare FBLA-PBL Week
through proclamations. The Rossville Chapter had many
different activities scheduled throughout each day in
celebration of FBLA-PBL Week. On Adviser Appreciation
Day, flowers were sent to Mrs. Gordon, as a thank you
for all of the hard work and time she contributes to
this organization. A proclamation was published in the
St. Marys Star by the Rossville City Mayor.
