Spring Meeting Program -- We enjoyed a lively,
informative presentation regarding student
organizations from three individuals:

as a long-time FBLA advisor at
her high school; Ashley Fritschle, regarding
her involvement as President of
Pi Omega Pi; and Scott Rhine, regarding
his experience with advising a community

the Year, Jim Luedke, who has taught
at both the high school level and at
Lake Land College for many years.
Jim was described as trustworthy, relaxed,
kind, caring, a master teacher, a

Scholarship Awards--Cheryl Staley,
member of the scholarship committee,
reported that we have three potential
scholarships of $200 each: one
to a high school student interested in
pursuing business education, one to a
community college student majoring in
business education, and one to a student
attending a university and majoring
in business education. This year’s
winner of the community college student
award was Phillip Webster, a Lake
Land College student, who will transfer

high school or university students.
