- Richard:As mentioned, the March of Dimes – Blue Jeans for Babies Dance (fundraiser) will be held at each conference from 9pm-11pm. Don’t forget to bring your donation for this great cause.Now back to Donnie, to share some information about each of the NFLC locations.
- Donnie:Indianapolis will host the first of our three NFLCs, The city is home to Innovation…The Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosted the first Indianapolis 500 mile race on its 2.5-mile track on May 30, 1911, two years after it opened. Equipped to seat an audience of more than 250,000, the Speedway is the world’s largest spectator sporting arena.Museums, history, fabulous food – there are plenty of reasons to visit Indianapolis.
- Donnie: The Second NFLC is location Denver Colorado…And yes, Denver truly is one mile high. The 15th step on the west side of the State Capitol Building is 5,280 feet (1,609 m) above sea level.Some other fun facts:In 1935, Louis Ballast melted a slice of cheese on a hamburger at his Denver Humpty Dumpty drive-in restaurant, and patented the invention as the world's first "cheeseburger." Denver is one of the few cities in history that was not on a road, railroad, lake, navigable river or body of water when it was founded. Denver just happened to be where the first few flakes of gold were found in 1858 and it was here that the first camp was made.
- Donnie:Charlotte is the 2nd largest financial center in the United States with some of the nation’s largest banks, such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo. 365 of Fortune’s top 500 companies take advantage of the city’s pro-business environment. The region is home to 37 institutions of higher learning with 50 campuses providing academic expertise and training to a growing workforce. Charlotte is the site for the NASCAR Hall of Fame due to its rich racing heritage. We’re really looking forward to welcoming you all here and show you all a little bit of Southern hospitality!
- At the conference in Charlotte a special program is available for FBLA-Middle Level members.The Middle Level Academy features and day long specialty track especially designed for our FBLA-Middle Level Members. Don’t miss this opportunity to network with other FBLA-ML members during this exciting program. At each NFLC location there will be PBL centered workshops .Check our website for more information.
- Donnie:Last but not least…a few housekeeping notes. Please remember that NFLCs attendees are required to be in Business Attire throughout the conference. This applied to advisers as well. The only exception is the March of Dimes Blue Jeans for Babies Dance which will be held each of the conferences Saturday night from 9:00pm-11:00pm. Just to clarify, open-toe shoes and sling backs are allowed but flip flops or bare feet are NOT. So ladies, please don’t be a slave to fashion. Buy comfortable dress shoes that you can bare to wear throughout the day. This is not a pretty picture.
- Donnie: OK. That’s all the time we have for today. Don’t miss the next Webinar scheduled for November 16. Lisa Smothers, our membership director, will give a step-by-step tutorial on the BAA and CMAP programs. You can register now for this webinar by going to the national home page.
