Decal business for FBLA

     The Chadron High Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter has newly introduced their decal business. Not only does FBLA work on leadership skills and building knowledge, but they also encourage entrepreneurship.
     Brenda Budler, one of the two FBLA advisers, came up with the idea to put together this business. "I originally saw a demonstration of this equipment in Nashville, TN at the National FBLA Conference. I immediately thought it would be a great addition to my FBLA chapter," said Mrs. Budler. A grant was written by Mrs. Budler, and she received the grant. The business has all the equipment necessary and now has an FBLA entrepreneurship group running it. 
     Many opportunities will come with this business. Mrs. Budler said that the money is paying off the expenses right now. She also said that in the future, she hopes to have the business up and running and use the profits to give scholarships to students going to state. "We are almost a third of the way to breaking even so far," said Mrs. Budler. 
     The FBLA business will be open to the community more this winter. The only exposure to the community was at the Harvest Festival downtown in early October. They plan on having members approach businesses in the near future and be set up with the cake raffles during the winter sports. 
     These decals can come any way you would like them. So far, the group has only concentrated on 6x6 and 4x4 sports decals for windows, however they will eventually be able to be customized with athletes names and numbers depending on their preference. "There is a great selection of the decals we can make," said Mrs. Budler.
