Jonathan Law’s Future Business Leaders of America Club is recruiting new members join for the 2023-2024 school year.

The club meets in Room 127 on F days during Advisory with Mr. Beler and Mrs. Israelite. Members are looking to improve and grow this year.

“Our first step is getting more members and more people involved,” senior President Jack Bretthauer said. “We want to have a lot more freshman in the club this year, so that next year they can take over as a lot of our upperclassman will be leaving.”

Senior member Hailey Russo said she has already seen the club growing.

“The first year I was in the club, it was the beginning of the club, but now there are a lot more field trips, a lot more opportunities for volunteer hours and competitions,” Russo said.

The club is hoping to fundraise to reduce the prices of field trips and competitions. Some fundraisers are already in the planning process.

“We of course are going to do the Winter Wonderland again which was a lot of fun,” Russo said. “Coming up we have a trip to the PEZ factory. We are trying to have a different field trip every month but we don’t know what is in store for the rest of the year.”

Members of the club are also already preparing to compete at the State Leadership Conference.

“I know its not going to be easy at competitions and I’m expecting to have to work very hard but i’m willing to put in the work,” freshman member Amilio Venditti said.

Students can join the club by talking to Bretthauer for more information.

“Get involved in the club as much as you can because it can really help you with scholarships and applications” sophomore member Alani Velez said. “It is a good club to be a part of, and I’m really happy I joined. I feel more involved in Law and the student body after becoming a member.”

The club is hoping to set a record for memberships this year and take home wins at competitions.

“A goal I have for the club is to grow more and more over the year and set a positive look for our Law community,” Russo said. I’ve tried to encourage a lot of freshman to join the club, and so far we have many new members.”
