53 Attend FCCLA Meeting

On October 12th, 2011, fifty three members of the Worth County FCCLA attended the regional meeting in Maryville, Missouri. The event was held by Northwest Missouri State University, and the Region 1 Officers in the Ron Houston Performing Arts Center. The theme of the meeting was “Share Our Strength – Max Out With FCCLA.” The 53 attending members were able to raise $106 to donate to Region 1 Disaster Support, to help flood victims in our area and to Share Our Strength to help end hunger in the U.S. The keynote speaker for the event was Dr. Tim Crowley, a professor at Northwest who talked about your emotions and how they affect other people.
Two members of the Worth County chapter of FCCLA, Taylor Butcher and Alaina Freeman, were a part of the Region 1 officers who helped plan the meeting. Taylor Butcher made a slideshow for the event that included pictures of what several Region 1 chapters had been doing in the past year. Alaina Freeman selected and read the devotional for the meeting. The meeting benefitted all FCCLA members, and was a great experience for Taylor and Alaina. Worth County students are very proud of their Region 1 officers!
