MANAHAWKIN – Fall Leadership Conference: Congratulations goes out to all FCCLA members who competed in the New Jersey FCCLA Fall Leadership Conference. This year our members are participating in the Incredible Journey through individual and group competition, community service and leadership opportunities.

One highlight of the day was the cupcake sale that resulted in the NJFCCLA members raising a total of $2,000 donated to Hurricane Relief. Our members were thrilled to see our own, Gianna Debruyn, represent us as FCCLA National Executive Council Vice President of Competitive Events, while performing as Glenda, the Good Witch, “There’s no place like FCCLA!”

Holiday Tradition: Southern Regional Middle School FCCLA continued our Holiday tradition by travelling to Stafford By the Bay Senior Apartments to spread some Holiday Cheer. Twenty members of FCCLA planned and hosted the holiday party with snacks, crafts, games and gifts for the residents. It was an amazing time getting to talk to those from different generations, identifying similarities and differences of the teenage years.

One thing for sure, all members and residents left the day feeling festive and are looking forward to getting together in the spring.
