�And
your 2000-2001 President is. . . Chris Dieck�
Hey Carmel FBLA! I am proud to be writing to you
as your newly elected President and State Secretary! This past year has been one
of the greatest for Carmel FBLA and also one of the most memorable for me, and
hopefully, for you also!
I want to begin by congratulating all those who
won an event at Rochester, or a recent election here in Carmel. Both are very
hard to do and you should be proud of yourselves. In addition, I would also like
to commend all members of Carmel FBLA for their outstanding work over the course
of this year. Every member of this great chapter should be exalted by their efforts.
With Rochester behind us, we must now look to the
future and be ready for what it beholds. To all those who will be attending the
National Leadership Conference in Long Beach, California, good luck in your respected
competitions. I know that the whole chapter is behind you all and wished you the
best.
As for next year, well, to say the least, it will
be very exciting and fun for all of us. I urge everyone to try to become more
involved members so that I can congratulate you in addition to the many others
who will win trophies at Rochester next year! With Rochester behind us, we must

Officer Installation New Member Induction
Ceremony
Each year, after electing the new officer
team, the chapter holds an Induction and Installation Ceremony. At this semi-formal
event, the new members recite the FBLA Pledge and Creed, and are officially inducted
into the club. The new officers new officers are installed through a routine ceremony,
during which each officer lights a designated candle that symbolizes his position.
These candles will be lit by outgoing President, Nao Valentino. The newly elected
officers then agree to carry out the duties of his office.
This is an enjoyable event for both FBLA members
and their families to attend. The ceremony will be held in Casey Hall on Tuesday,
May 23rd at 7:00pm. All inductees should be dressed appropriately in either proper
business attire or semi-formal attire. This is a mandatory meeting for all new
members. All other members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Refreshments and desserts will be served at the
conclusion of the ceremony. This is also a great opportunity to view this year�s
4th place Chapter of the Year Scrapbook and various award winning reports. We
look forward to seeing all of you there!

June 10th Car Wash
The first official activity of the 2000-2001 FBLA
year will be the annual June Car wash. In the past this has been a very enjoyable
event as well as an opportunity to raise funds for the chapter. It also serves
as a great chance to mingle with your fellow chapter members and members of the
George Fischer FBLA chapter.
At this fundraiser we usually surpass our goal of
earning $500 for the club. This year, with your help, we hope to continue this
tradition.
The car wash will be held on Saturday June 10th,
from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the circle in front of Carmel High School. Bring towels
and be prepared to have a great time enjoying the spring weather and helping your
chapter of FBLA!
