Alumni and Associates News

The Ohio FCCLA Alumni and Associates uses the sales of FCCLA merchandise to create finances to provide scholarships and other items for the Ohio FCCLA program. It is our fear that if we can't find a group or individual willing to take this over, the onsite sales at Fall Leadership and SLC meeting may come to an end.
