STATE OFFICERS ATTEND MLK DAY MARCH and MET THE GOVERNOR!
INSPIRATIONAL! STATE OFFICERS ATTEND
MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY ACTIVITIES AND MEET THE GOVERNOR
The State Officers and their advisors participated in several Service learning activities over the weekend. The State Officers marched in the St Paul Martin Luther King Day Rally, March and Assembly at Central High School and Concordia College in St Paul. The March was a replication of the Historical March from Selma, Ala to Montgomery, Alabama in the days of Martin Luther King. We heard speakers and challenges. One message was to pull up the droopy pants because that originated in the prisons for inmates and does not have a positive youth development message. Other messages were to stay in school and finish your education. At the Assembly at Concordia, three of the state officers met Governor Pawlenty who was there to speak. They told him about FCCLA and the service work that they do. He said to them; "Thank you for your leadership and service!” A part of the day was visiting Second Harvest Distribution Center and volunteering to fill food bags, ( We filled over 900 2 lb. bags of rice) and learn about “Hunger 101”, a simulation workshop. The challenge was to take a case study of a family situation and find the money, food shelf help or assistance to get food for a family for the day. Most situations were eye opening and the amount of paperwork and the challenges for families was mind boggling.
The MN FCCLA Association, as a lead state association for Global Youth Service Day is kicking off the Season of Service with Martin Luther King Day! GYSDAY is APRIL 23-25, 2010.
