Hi everyone! Some of you missed the meeting yesterday. Just to keep you informed, our next meetings have been scheduled for January 20, February 9 (You will need to pay for states at this meeting; $175.00), and March 9. Please mark your calendar and keep in mind that preferential treatment is always given to those who are active, involved members. I do understand that we are all busy and have other extracurricular activities, but too many absences will negatively affect you.
I'm very excited for the upcoming new member initiation! This is the first time we have ever had such an event! Your officer team has come up with so many great ideas AND they're acting on them!
If you haven't already signed up for your events, you must do so immediately. Preferential treatment for events is given to those who signed up on time. For instance, I can only send 4 or 5 people to participate in Desktop Publishing. Those who signed up by the deadline will get a higher score during the in-house competition.
Our treasury is in excellent shape with over $8,000!
Soon I'll be posting pictures of our new member initiation, so be on the lookout!

New Officers!
I'd like to formally congratulate our new officer team! Tim, Allison, Audri, Cameron and Brendan were the top vote-getters. The race between all of the candidates was very close!
The new officers have their work cut out for them - in the near future and in the long run. They will be interviewing on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and then will find out on Thursday which positions they will serve. They will then be asked to come up with some goals for our chapter to work towards this year. If anyone has any suggestions, please post them here. I have a few of my own ideas, and I bet the officers have some ideas too!!
If anyone has any good questions for me to ask the officer candidates, post them here as well. I'd love to take questions from our members! Take a moment to congratulate our new leadership and also thank everyone who ran. Don't forget to friend request us over on Facebook - bpbpa!

October Updates
MEETING CORRECTION TIME - MEETING IS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 14!!!
Howdy to the members-to-be! We're gearing up for our elections next week! So far we have a hefty ballot which includes Timmy, Adriana, Audriana, Stephen, Nick, Ethan, Tyler, Allison, Hayley, Trevor and maybe one or two others! The candidates may want to go to the BPA website to download the National Officer Fact Sheet. You can find it linked off this page. The top 5 vote-getters next week will have an interview with Mrs. Powers and me in the near future. I would think that we would pull some questions out of this fact sheet. (for sure!)
If anyone else wants to be included on the ballot, please let me know by Friday. Expectations from the officers are high - so don't run if you can't commit. Officers have to be present at all of our functions, have to attend all meetings, have to assist other members and me, and be the best cheerleaders for our chapter. Special officer meetings will also take place during the school year.
Everyone is reminded to submit their dues of $22 by the October 14 meeting. Looking forward to some exciting things!

School Year 2009-2010
Hello students! It won't be long before we're going full steam ahead in a new year of BPA! The prize is sweet this year. (As it always is!) Our national trip will be Anaheim California. Yep - Disneyland! Maybe you don't like Disneyland, but I think that's pretty much impossible and would make you Un-American!!
I have some plans so far. Naturally we'll be hosting a talent show the Friday before Thanksgiving. Keep an ear and eye out for new talent. I love to tap into the new Freshmen!! The Fall Leadership Conference has been booked for October, I believe. This is an event where we take our officers. Which brings me to the next point. Who wants to run for office? Remember, our guidelines for office will be mimicking those of nationals. Anyone who wants to run, can do so. You will give a speech and then the members vote. The top votes get to interview with a panel of teachers and we will place you in the position for which you are best suited. This should help alleviate the "popularity" vote. I'm hoping for a dynamic, hard-working officer team this year!
Well that's it for now. Comment on this post so I can see if you're all still around and if you're psyched for BPA!!
