Litchfield Chapter of FBLA News & Updates
The Litchfield Chapter of FBLA has been busy, as usual, working on our projects for this year! We
submitted our entry for the SuperSweeps competition- a combination of projects showing our devotion to
retaining and increasing our membership. We created flyers, invited new members, and informed everyone
of all the amazing benefits FBLA can offer!
Additionally, LPS FBLA conducted our annual FEED
NE canned food drive/member taco supper at school
and in the community. Our numbers look great and
we’re very proud of the response we got from
everyone in and around Litchfield this year. We’ll
have concrete numbers for you in next month’s
edition, so stay tuned!

In FBLA-related news, we are incredibly proud to announce that our
chapter president, Joseph Ptacnik, has been chosen as the Serve
Nebraska Youth Volunteer Award Winner! He was presented with
the award during the Step Forward Award luncheon on October 28th
in Ashland, NE. This award recognizes a youth, under age 18, who
has demonstrated “outstanding volunteer service” and who has
demonstrated “exemplary leadership skills.” Award winners and
finalists were selected by our Governor, Pete Ricketts.
Congratulations, Joseph! You deserve it for your outstanding
leadership skills and spirit of giving back!
