Day 1 of SBLC

Today was the first day of Oregon FBLA's State Business Leadership Conference in Portland, Oregon. For the Union Chapter the day started at 4 o'clock in the morning when we pulled out of the parking lot at the high school. The day continued as we arrived at our hotel after a 5 hour drive. From there the advisers and chapter president and apprentice went over to headquarters to get our conference t-shirts and name tags and conference programs. After members recieved their name tags they were off to their workshops and some of them to their events prelims.
