Activities: The Small Business Club has initiated many different activities:

Lecture Series – Teachers/guest speakers spoke about topics of interest for the students. These included: How to Write a Research Paper, How to Write a Business Plan, Debt Equity and Financing, and How to Write a Marketing Plan.

LIBI Café - One of the first major projects started by the Small Business Club was the LIBI Café. A formal business plan was prepared and submitted to the president of the school for approval. The goals of the café were to offer low prices and quality service.
The Café depends on students to volunteer to work in the café. Student volunteers gain valuable experience, meet other students, acquire skills to add to their resume, learn teamwork and cooperative learning, practice customer service, and act as cashiers. Volunteers are also responsible for maintaining the café (displays, inventory, preparation of coffee). Café volunteers were selected to serve breakfast at the Business Advisory Council meeting in June. Student volunteers also received certificates of recognition for their accomplishments.
With the profits from the café, the members of the club plan to purchase a gift for the school.

Newsletter – The current project is the production of a business newsletter.
