The Fall Leadership Conference and the State Leadership Conference FCCLA attended was held at Tan-Tara Resort, Osage Beach. The members/officers got to go to different workshops and listen to different speakers while also interacting with officers and members from other chapters.

This club hosts several events throughout the year. Sweetheart and FHS Idol are included in those events. The officers work hard with planning these events and making sure that they go well. The Sweetheart Dance is held in mid February and FHS Idol is during the last week before Christmas break. 

Ella Clauser, an officer in FCCLA, says, “There are many things that I enjoy about FCCLA. I really enjoy going on the trips and the wonderful memories that come along with it. I love meeting new people and making new friends. It has also strengthened my leadership skills in many ways.”
