MAFCS Highlights
From the MAFCS President:
Exciting things are happening in MAFCS.
Thank you to Jane for setting up this blog!
Centennial Celebration....
Plan now to attend the MAFCS Centennial Conference April 2-4, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza in Brooklyn Park, MN.
We will be celebrating 100 years of Family and Consumer Sciences. Join us as we honor our past and look to the future of MAFCS.
Members have contacted board and council members with concerns about FACS and Standards, licensing, and program cuts. It would be great to start a conversation through the blog so all members can see the discussion. Invite your colleagues to join in.
Some schools have had success in implementing a fine arts standard in interior design. You can contact your MAFCS Board and council members to learn more. Or... blog your successes and comments here. (Please practice professional courtesy as you do so.)
We are accepting nominations for President Elect, VP of Program Elect, VP of Membership Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, VP of Outreach Elect and Nominations committee. If you are interesting in serving on the MAFCS Board or council, contact Cherry Cramer at bcncrmr3@comcast.net
Wishing you all a Happy Holidays from The MAFCS President: Cherry Cramer

National Conference in Milwaukee, June 2008
The conference in Milwaukee was a great success and we all received good information on current technology and information for the future.
I personally went to several workshops on standards and career clusters that was helpful for my education committee work.
All of the speakers that spoke to the large group were full of interesting information that we can all use in our lives and our careers.
Jean Knack was installed as the new national treasurer. Donna Butterfield did a great job representing Minnesota in the TOY awards. It was great to see Melanie Nelson get her award for business.
The sales table did very well. We sold every navy blue t-shirt that we had and took some orders to send out t-shirts. We still have black t's, spoons and aprons that you can order from us. If you would like any information on the products please contact Cherry Cramer or Jane Hinrichsen. Thanks to all of those that helped with the product sales.
We are hoping to sell product at the district K meeting and at the Stout conference if the table price isn't too high.

North High School Students in Central Park
North High School visited New York on a fashion trip April 17-21. We booked the trip through Junior tours and they did a very nice job. Here is a photo of the group in Central Park. We were there on our 4th day and we had a tough time getting the Minnesota kids out of nature after spending so much time in the cement world. Jane Hinrichsen

Regional Conference
The regional conference was a great success.
We spoke of our history and past and reflected on it's importance as we approach a bright future.
I hope that those of you that were not able to attend will be able to journey to Milwaukee for the AAFCS national conference. I think that we will see a well planned and put together conference it would be a shame to miss one when it is so close.
I am proud to be a part of a great state where we celebrated our past with great leaders of the present like Donna Butterfield our Minnesota FACS teacher of the year. Donna presented her 7th grade class focusing on the service learning project modifying clothing for injured military members.
Thanks to those who planned the conference and the many hours that they put in planning and preparing for the lovely week-end.
