MHS FBLA

Twenty five of us have just returned from the National Fall Leadership Conference in Washington, DC. We attended a variety of workshops, heard great guest speakers, and visited LOTS of our National Landmarks.

We even toured at night in the drizzling rain!

Some of the members rode a subway for the first time!

One of the places we visited was the US Capitol. We went on a guided tour through the US House of Representatives.

Here we are learning what it is like to be a Congressman.

We went to a nice Italian restaurant together. However, it cost a lot, we had $100 stolen, and some of us didn't get our order, but we had fun! lol

We had a dance at the NFLC.
