Living in Eureka Springs, our chapter gets more opportunities than most to collaborate on projects and hear from experienced business leaders of our community.  Our favorite and largest project to date is the ESHS FBLA Thanksgiving Food Drive. This year, we were able to expand our reach and arrange 25 dinner baskets for families in need. This was made possible through the effort of our chapter along with the support of local businesses, such as Mud Street Café and Hart's Family Center. Additionally, we believe that learning from experience is the best way to grow your mind. We often invite speakers to visit our chapter so our members can learn their valuable lessons, soak up their insight, and inquire about their experiences. We have been lucky enough to hear from true entrepreneurs, marketing experts, and FBLA alumni all based in our community. The ESHS Pickleball Tournament is our next step to boosting community morale and making our mark. 

The Eureka Springs Community center has become our near and dear partner for the ESHS FBLA Pickleball Tournament. They have been kind enough to allow us the use of their space and time. We will be using the 3 pickleball courts inside the gym. They will also have their regular vending machines which will serve as yet another opportunity to give back to our community. The tournament will not include lunch, so we also encourage attendees to support local business. Carmen's Tacos Food Truck is right next door, Bubba's Barbecue is less than a minute away, and many other local restaurants are scattered throughout town.
