 Meetings: There is a blackboard account for announcements. Students should check frequently. 

Each year, FBLA takes several different field trips designed to show students the bigger picture and how various businesses are run. This generally includes Hotel Roanoke, The Roanoke Times, Kroger Distribution Center, and a local bank. On top of this, each year, FBLA takes part in at least one community service project. Dues are 10 dollars, and this money goes to the state and national organizations and to help cover the costs of differnet competitions held throughout the year. Since it is a co-curricular class, all business students are considered members of the FBLA. For more information on when the meetings are, please contact the club sponsors: Mrs. Pam Altieri and Mrs. Christine Daniels
