Deschutes County Economic Development Fund Questions:
1. Describe the applicant organization, including its purpose, leadership structure,
and activities.
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is the nations premier organization for
student leaders preparing for careers in business, management, entrepreneurship, and
information technology. State and National websites are; Oregonfbla.org & Fbla-pbl.org.

We are seeking support in funding to ensure all students who qualified may participate
and represent Oregon at the National conference and competition.
3. Provide a timeline for completing the proposed project or activity.
Our Chapter is a year long club. We continually build on our connections to the
community. We fundraised throughout the year to support the three main competitions
we have. (Regional's, State and Nationals) We leave for Nationals this year on June 23`d
4. Explain how the proposed project of activity will impact the community's
economic health.
Our FBLA program creates an environment that promotes more interest in and
understanding of American Business Enterprise. It encourages students to practice
efficient money management and students gain excellent skills that assists them in
determining and establishing their occupational goals.
5. Identify the specific communities or groups that will benefit.
The students at La Pine High School will benefit the most by building their confidence
and their work skills as well as facilitate the transition from school to future work in the
La Pine Community.
6. Itemize anticipated expenditures:
The program here at La Pine High School increased this year by 47% percent. With that
growth we have been unable to fund our program like we did in the past. Our FBLA
chapter will be starting a Sports Marketing project next year in our Business Department
and Athletic Department. This should start to provide some consistent and substantial
funding for us in the future. Until then we are seeking as much community support as
possible.

Deschutes County Board of Commissioners,
Your grant will help the La Pine FBLA State finalists attend Nationals in Atlanta Georgia this
year. We had 22 of our students attend the state competition 11 placed in the top 10 and 4
qualified for National's in Atlanta, GA on June 25th. The cost to attend. Nationals is $1800 per
student. The donation you make will help to assist with the costs associated with registration,
accommodations and travel that are necessary to ensure our students can compete at the na-
tional level. All our students worked very hard to get to state, and it showed when we had half
of who competed place in the top ten. Some of the ways we have raised money this year, are
the sales of "Spirit Bags" which we do throughout the year, the annual LPHS Halloween
dance, working Athletic concessions and movie nights. We are now planning for spring car
washes, a spaghetti dinner, and a bowl-a-thon to raise as much as possible before the event. As
a partner with La Pine High School your donation helps our students become better educated
citizens who have more self-confidence and leadership skills necessary for today's business
world. Our students really appreciate your support.
