UPDATE!
Things have been moving along here at FCSIFE, so here's a brief update!
Competition------------------------
The team is getting ready for Regionals in March. The ITCs were written and turned in and the presentation team is getting ready for competition.
"Destination Denim"------------------
Destination Denim is our new market economics project. The goal of the project is to educate students about the complexities of the international market place and how many countries touch their everyday lives. St. John's C.R.O.P. is bringing students from the surrounding middle and elementary schools to participate in the activities.
Date: March 7th
Time: 10:30-2:30
Ethics-------------------
Jessica spent this pasts weekend at Winmark HQ in New Orleans presenting our ethics video. She received a great response and they loved the team's work.
Greennovators-----------------
The Greennovators project will be expanding its reach into local elementary schools to help students get creative with "going green."
The Arc Sandwich Shop-----------
Has now been officially named The Traveling Lunch Box. The team met with Mary and Christine from The ARC last week to gives updates on the progress of the project. Equipment has been bought, menu ideas have been created, potential workers have been selected, and a logo has been picked. The main goal now for SIFE is to iron out the details and set up marketing around local businesses.
As always, look for specific project updates in the monthly BAB newsletter!

FCSIFE Welcomes in the New Year!
Things are moving along here at FCSIFE. We have Regionals prep, new projects, and expansion of existing ones. Here's an update of what has been going on since holiday break:
Market Economics Project--------
A think tank was held this past friday to brain storm ideas for our new market economics project. We are looking at working with Jobs for Florida's Graduates (JFG) which directly works with those students least likely to graduate. Some great ideas were brought forth and a second think tank is scheduled for Tuesday to discuss the specifics of the project.
Expansion of Greennovators---------
Our Greennovators project will now expand into high school science fairs in order to increase the impact and reach of the program.
The Arc-------
The Arc sandwich shop is now officially named "The Traveling Lunchbox." The menu items are coming along thanks to the help of Christine who was hired to bring her culinary experience to The Arc.
Tom Rittenhouse--------
FCSIFE will have the pleasure of hosting a 'round table' event with guest speaker Tom Rittenhouse on Jan. 28th. Mr. Rittenhouse will be speaking at the Michelina’s Business Luncheon Series on the 29th bringing 37 years of experience in global supply chain management.
Legacy Goes Green-------
The eco-friendly changes have been made, a business plan has been created, and now WE'RE EXPANDING! The Legacy is looking to expand its eco-friendly business plan to St. George Street businesses.
As always, look for detailed project updates sent in the BAB newsletter.
Thanks you for your support!

New Updates!
GREENNOVATORS-------------
The Grennovators entries were due December 1st, and FCSIFE received some amazing ideas for innovations. On December 4th, we displayed these entries to be judged at the Eco Fun Fest on Flagler College's West Lawn. After some tough decision making, the judges chose Katherine Baggett as the second place winner of two annual passes to Sea World and Busch Gardens and Matthew Van Arnam as the winner of $500 cash. Overall, Greennovators was a great success. Not only were some great thinkers awarded for their wonderful ideas, but everyone who attended the Eco Fun Fest learned more about environmental awareness and sustainiblity.
Great job Alyssa and Sam and everyone else who helped out!
RIPPLE THE NATION------------
Ripple the Nation is up and running on facebook thanks to Victoria. Log on and share any stories that you may have. Ask a FCSIFE member about this exciting project.

Our friends from The Arc came to Markland yesterday bringing samples of their new menu items. FCSIFE and The Arc brainstormed ideas for menu changes and name ideas. The meetings was a real success and everything is really coming along.

FCSIFE and Flagler College was fortunate enough to have Mr. Jack Kahl visit our campus for the first time this week. Mr. Kahl was the creator of Duck® Duct Tape and transformed Manco, Inc. into a leading global consumer products company.
Tuesday: A reception was held in Markland House in Jack Kahl's honor. Faculty and students gathered to meet Mr. Kahl in person and learn from his business experience.
Wednesday: A luncheon was held followed by a lecture series given by Mr. Kahl in the Flagler Room.
Jack Kahl provided great insight into the business philosophy that enhanced his success and intrigued Flagler's business students with his many stories about Walmart founder Sam Walton.
A big thanks to Mr. Jack Kahl for giving Flagler College his time.

Our Ethics ideas are developing into some pretty exciting projects. For updates, look to the BAB/Alumni newsletter.

FCSIFE Updates!
The Business Advisory Board meeting on October 15th was a success! Our BAB were really a big help when it came to brainstorming for ethics projects. We gathered so many great ideas that touched so many different areas of the community. Thank you to everyone who came that evening. We don't know what we would do without you!
The SIFE Walgreen's Training Conference was also held last week (Saturday 18th) at the UNF campus. The conference was full of a lot of new information and ideas for both new and veteran SIFErs. We had the opportunity to learn about the new judging criteria, team sustainability, and SIFE scholarships. Our Sam Waltons Fellows were also able to attend an advisor meeting. During the Conference we were able to interact with various SIFE teams from Florida and Georgia, share experiences and network. Business leaders from SIFE sponsor companies also attended and were there to share their experiences and answer any resume or interview questions that we had. Overall it was a really fun and informative day.
Presentation Team Auditions!
I would like to send a BIG congratulations to our new 2008-2009 presentation team:
