Pennsylvania FBLA Update
Now That SLW Registration/Lodging Is Closed . . . .
Commuters Are Still Being Welcomed
Dear PA FBLA Advisers

State Leadership Workshop registration/lodging has closed; HOWEVER, Pennsylvania FBLA is still welcoming advisers (alone) OR advisers with students who would like to attend the SLW as commuters! Unfortunately, there are no additional sleeping rooms available; we have returned all unused rooms to Kalahari.

If you alone or you and your students would like to attend on Sunday, October 30 (or both days), as commuters, please reach out to Bruce Boncal, bboncal@pafbla.us, or 570.279.6998 cell/text, for details. I will need to close all opportunities to attend as commuters next Friday, October 14, by 3:00 pm. After that, there will be absolutely no additions accepted.

Sunday, October 30, is a very big day for the SLW at the Kalahari Resort in the Poconos. It's a great day to give your students an opportunity to experience a significant portion of the leadership development program and the supporting activities.

The pre-SLW sessions AND the Sunday, October 30, program can be found below the graphic.
Pre-SLW Schedule

There's a lot to learn, and there's a lot offered to help you and your students have a successful FBLA year. If you cannot bring your students for the day, but you have students that would like to attend for the day AND there is a parent willing to bring them for the day, contact me so we can discuss how we can make that work. Students ARE NOT permitted to come to the SLW without adult supervision.
