March of Dimes Mini-Walk
What a great way to raise funds and awareness about the March of Dimes. For non-profit organizations, FBLA is the leading contributor to the March of Dimes.
Yesterday, here at the NLC, we had a mini-walk. Each person in attendance gave a donation of $5 ($15, if he or she wanted a t-shirt). There was a DJ and teenagers ready to dance, dance, dance!
Sophia and her mother were there. Sophia is the March of Dimes San Antonio feature child for this year. Sophia's mother shared their story. It was a powerful testimony about the life-changing benefit of giving to the March of Dimes.

The Final Round!
I am sitting here in the performance room, Conference Room 1 of the Marriott Rivercenter! Ayanna and Olajuwon will be in here in a minute or so. They were to begin their 20 minute preparation time at 8:10. Business leaders do their thing early in the morning! I'm glad they are first! Whew!
Well actually, they won't be first! Due to a logistical error, they should be somewhere between the second and fourth teams to perform. (What happened? I won't go there! No worries! I was professional :))
I am full to the brim with every amount of motherly, teacherly and "coachly" emotion and pride that anyone could have! I had to get tissues a few moments ago! These students are absolutely amazing! Some do their thing on basketball courts, tennis courts, and football fields. My kids do their thing in front of computers and in conference rooms! They are the Future Business Leaders of America, and as I've heard so many championship coaches say before, I just have the awesome privilege of being their coach!

A Blast from the Immediate Past!
Last week, as we were finalizing plans for San Antonio, there was yet another FBLA Adventure!
Hopewell High School rising junior Tyesha Evans is a leader in FBLA Virginia. She is the VSU Region President, which also makes her the State VP representing the VSU Region and makes me the VSU Regional Advisor.
Last week, with the help of Ms. Dorothy Johnson and my new buddy Marquis, Tyesha and I journeyed to Roanoke College for Virginia FBLA's State Officer Training.
We look forward to a great year for the VSU Region!
