Written by Ashley Hinkle Wednesday, October 10, FCCLA members, officers, and administrators all gathered in the Family and Consumer Sciences rooms for a traditional officer installation ceremony and club meeting. OHS members Megan Belamy, Christian Flynn, Ashley Hinkle and April Jones were the four officers in attendance. They were dressed formally and acted as role models for the other members.
To start off the meeting, club members were able to ice and decorate their own cupcakes to eat. The meeting began with the officer induction where each officer read the eight FCCLA purposes and lit symbolic candles representative of those purposes. After the ceremony all of the officer's received single red rose bouquet as a congratulations for officially becoming 2012-2013 chapter officers. The red rose is FCCLA's club flower and to receive this rose as a token of gratitude is an honor.
After the club meeting ended, advisers and students went to the Ronald McDonald House to volunteer and play games with the children. Some members interacted with families or partook in face painting. When interviewed, FCCLA President Megan Bellamy said that this year she hopes to have more members compete in FCCLA competitions and for more students to be involved in the community. Her favorite part of being a part of FCCLA is attending the National Leadership Conference, which she says is always a fun experience. Bellamy also says that being a president of FCCLA is not just about making things happen, it is also being a leader among leaders.
