Our goal was to sell 250 tubs of cookie dough, but our chapter exceeded that goal and sold over 401 tubs! We raised approximately $3,200! The cookie dough arrived just in time for holiday baking!

Pop Tab Collection
Pop Tab Collection
Our chapter chose to start a new community service tradition in our schools and community collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House in Omaha. In our high school building, we made the pop tab collection a competition between each class. We collected tabs throughout December and January. The class with the most tabs collected won a root beer float party. In total this year, we collected 20 gallons of pop tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House. During FCCLA week, chapter officers will deliver the tabs and volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House!
Chapter Connections
Chapter Connections
After attending the National Leadership Conference this past summer, our chapter officers were inspired by all the new members we met from across the country. We wanted another way to connect with members, so we started a chapter connections campaign! Our adviser posted on the National FCCLA Adviser Facebook group asking for chapters to send us a postcard and we'd write back! So far, we have received post cards from seven states. We love getting to hear from other chapters and see what they're doing too!
