The Athens Area High School (AAHS) Future Business Leaders of American (FBLA) officer team is excited about the upcoming school year. The officers are President Krista Smith, Vice-President Hannah Harvey-Sampson, Secretary Anna Vine, Treasurer Mike Bernett, Parliamentarian Aaron Harris, and Reporter Meagan Nowacoski.

The team has set numerous goals including: 80 members in our local chapter; 300 hours of combined community service hours; a fourth-straight Top Chapter Award at the Regional Leadership Conference; 35 members achieving the State Leadership Conference in various competitive events; and at least two members achieving the National Conference in Nashville.

The first fundraising event will be held Sunday, Oct. 4, when the AAHS FBLA is holding a 5K run/walk to benefit Habitat for Humanity. The race will start at 1 p.m. at Round Top Park with registration beginning at noon. The entry fee of $20 includes T-shirts for the first 50 registrants, fruit donated by Ted Clark's Busy Market, and water donated by The Nutrition Group at AAHS.

Harvey-Sampson and Bernett are organizing this event as their senior project, in addition to raising funds for the FBLA State Project: Habitat for Humanity. They are hoping that as part of homecoming weekend at Athens, many alumni will come out to enjoy the fall scenery and support a worthy cause. Major sponsors for the event include: Bert's Pharmacy, Guthrie Endovascular and Vascular Surgery, Southern Tier Emergency Physicians, First Citizens National Bank, and ProCare Fitness. Additional sponsors include Shucky's, Sayre Theatre, Beeman's, Howies, and P&C. The AAHS FBLA truly appreciates the support and generosity of these local businesses.

For 5K registration forms or questions, please contact Brady Liechty at AAHS: bliechty@athensasd.org.

Are these FBLA students planning to be future farmers, or did the Daily Review not know what that acronym stood for?

I believe the Headline should be "Future Business Leaders of America" not Future Farmers - someone didn't read the article.
