This ceremony is appropriate for special occasions such as
National FCCLA Week, an employers' banquet or an open house. One way of
presenting it is to assemble the parts of the emblem as each is explained.
An easel with a large, white-covered board may be used for placement of the
emblem parts.
Speaker: "An emblem is a device or a symbol adopted and used
as an identifying mark-a picture representing an idea. The Minnesota
FCCLA-HERO emblem represents the Minnesota Association of Family, Career and
Community Leaders of America – Home Economics Related Occupations as a
dynamic, active organization."
Speaker: "The FCCLA emblem itself is an oval. The arrow at
the end shows that our organization is one that is moving toward new arenas
and heading into the future."
Speaker: "The letters F-C-C-L-A run through the middle of the
emblem. Their dominant, collegiate lettering articulates a focus on
education and student leadership."
Speaker: "The words 'Family, Career and Community Leaders of
America' run above and below the lettering F-C-C-L-A. These words are our
name, and they represent an organization that is always striving to build
strong leaders who are ready for anything, leaders who will come together to
build a better tomorrow."
Speaker: "The colors of the emblem are the colors of the
organization-red and white. Red suggests strength, courage and
determination. White symbolizes sincerity of purpose and integrity of
action. These colors should remind us that these are the qualities to work
for in ourselves and our organization."
Speaker. “The
acronym H-E-R-O represents our roots as Home Economics Related Occupations.
Besides building strong leader, MN FCCLA-HERO focuses on preparing it's
members for the world of work in the service occupations field. Minnesota
is added to identify us as the only state with a separate organization for
Service Occupations students.”
Speaker: "As FCCLA-HERO members, we recognize that we can
affect our homes, careers and communities in ways that are positive and
productive, and we accept the challenge of taking action and showing
responsibility."
