"The Region 3 meeting was excellent. All those that presented are advancing to state for Burke. Everyone did their best, and we are all very excited for the State Conference. The workshops were very interesting. Frank Even, Region 3 President, did a great job with planning the meeting. Mrs. Opbroek is an amazing advisor, and we couldn't have done as well as we did without her! I am looking forward to the State Conference," stated FCCLA Chapter President, Erika Van Nieuwenhuyse.
