Every year, the Fillmore Central Chapter of FBLA assists the Geneva Chamber of Commerce with the Geneva China Luncheon. Ladies from Fillmore County were given the opportunity to create a decorated table based on the theme, “Hats Off to …” this year. FBLA sponsored a table based on “Hats Off to Baseball” with the help of FBLA Advisory Council member, Jodi Meyer. Prior to the event, it had been decided that all of the year’s earnings would be donated towards the fundraising effort to build a new Geneva Community Center.
The Fillmore Central FBLA members assisted in serving as waiters and waitresses for 22 tables by completing various tasks, including filling pitchers with water and coffee, delivering trays of food, and helping to clean up after the luncheon had ended. Throughout the day, some of the FBLA officers served as emcees of the morning’s activities and assisted with the silent auction. Officers also ensured the safety of ladies who modeled clothing from several local retail businesses as they approached the stage area. In conclusion, the chapter believes that this year’s China Luncheon was once again a success with several favorable comments received regarding the professionalism and helpfulness of the FBLA members present.
